While recording her self-titled debut album in 1973, vocalist Maria Muldaur added the breezy, desert romance song “Midnight at the Oasis” as an afterthought to an impeccable mix of American roots tunes. Released as a single, it became a Grammy-nominated top ten hit and her signature song. To celebrate the 50th anniversary of the infamous recording, Maria will perform the song along with a selection of the blues, country, folk, swing and pop tunes that made her first album a classic, accompanied by her Red Hot Bluesiana Band. Plus, Maria will go “Beyond Midnight” with a multi-media performance that reflects on her six decade career – from the early years with the Even Dozen and Jim Kweskin Jug Bands, to collaborations with the Grateful Dead and Bonnie Raitt to her recent recordings with Tuba Skinny and Taj Mahal.
