Maria Muldaur concert October 15, 2006

Advance tickets are $20 and $25 day of.
Known for her ‘70s pop hit “Midnight at the Oasis,” vocalist Maria Muldaur actually started out as a child of American roots and folk music. Raised in the fertile Greenwich Village scene of the 1960s, she started exploring and learning to play blues, bluegrass and old-time Appalachian music, earning her musical stripes alongside some of the most revered folk artists of the period. Among her contemporaries was one Bob Dylan, the balladeer who single-handedly redefined the pop music landscape with a brand of insightful music that transcended its folk roots and left an indelible mark that is evident to this day. In the early days of the Village folk scene, Muldaur and Dylan often played the same coffeehouse circuit and were both part of the crowd discovering and exploring American roots music.

Muldaur remembers well the “deep, fervent, compassionate and amazingly perceptive” voice that Dylan brought to the many social issues of the early and mid-‘60s during his Village heyday. But she insists that there was – and continues to be – more to Dylan’s music than commentary, protest and a call for change. Muldaur showcases this lesser known side of the Dylan legacy on her new Telarc release, Heart of Mine: Love Songs of Bob Dylan. Like love itself, Heart of Mine encompasses a wide range of emotions: joy, sorrow, yearning, contentment and a host of other feelings that defy description.
