On Wednesday, October 18, at 7 pm, legendary vocalist Maria Muldaur<\/strong> will perform with her Red Hot Bluesiana Band<\/strong> in Water Valley<\/strong> at Foster Music and Arts\u2019 Old School Theater<\/strong> at the Melonvine Marketplace<\/strong>.<\/span><\/p>\n

Maria Muldaur is known world-wide for her 1974 mega-hit “Midnight at the Oasis<\/strong>,” which received several Grammy<\/strong> nominations and enshrined her forever in the hearts of baby boomers everywhere; but despite her considerable pop music success, her 50-year career could best be described a long and adventurous odyssey through the various forms of American roots music.<\/span>\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

In years since \u201cMidnight at the Oasis,\u201d Maria has toured extensively worldwide and has recorded 40 solo albums spanning all kinds of American roots music, including gospel, R&B, jazz and Big Band (not to mention several award-winning children\u2019s albums), often joining forces with some of the top names in the business, such as Bonnie Raitt<\/strong>, Phoebe Snow<\/strong>, Ruthie Foster<\/strong>, David Bromberg<\/strong>, Alvin Youngblood Hart<\/strong>, and Bob Margolin<\/strong> to name just a few. Maria has recorded and produced on-average an album per year, several of which have been nominated for Grammy and other awards.<\/span><\/p>\n

In 2011, Muldaur returned to her much-beloved New Orleans<\/strong> (the place she calls her \u201cmusical and spiritual home\u201d) to record Steady Love<\/strong>,<\/i> an electric blues album that reflects the kind of music she loves to perform live. Steady Love<\/i> reached #1 on the Living Blues Chart, and garnered her another nomination for Best Traditional Female Blues Artist from the Blues Foundation.<\/span><\/p>\n

In 2012, for her 40th album, Maria produced First Came Memphis Minnie<\/i><\/strong>, a loving tribute to the pioneering blues woman who inspired and influenced so many female blues artists who followed in her footsteps.<\/span><\/p>\n

Then in 2013, Maria focused on three special collaborations\u2014performing worldwide with her old Jug Band mates, in a series of 50th Anniversary Kweskin Jug Band Reunion<\/strong> concerts, teaming up with the Campbell Brothers<\/strong>, world-renowned Sacred Steel Gospel artists, for a very special presentation entitled \u201cSpirit & The Blues\u201d,<\/strong> and touring as a special guest artist with Bill Wyman and The Rhythm Kings<\/strong>, while continuing to perform with her own Red Hot Bluesiana Band as well. <\/span><\/p>\n

Showtime is 7 pm and doors open at 6:30 pm.\u00a0<\/span>The show is general admission, tickets are $20 and they can be purchased at the door on the day of the show with cash or they can be purchased with a credit card online here<\/a>.<\/span><\/p>\n

This show is sponsored in part by Turnage Drug Store <\/strong>of Water Valley,\u00a0and, as always, all FMA shows at the Old School Theater are made possible by The Caryl Company<\/strong> and the Melonvine Marketplace.<\/span><\/p>\n

The Old School Theater is a revitalized 250-seat school auditorium with brand new stage, sound, lights, and seating located inside the Melonvine Marketplace on the south side of Water Valley at 817 South Main Street. Foster Music & Arts uses it regularly to present both national and regional music acts with the stated mission of \u201ccultivating the best live music in North Mississippi.\u201d<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n
