Maria Muldaur

Artist Description

Maria Muldaur, “America’s First Lady of Roots Music,” is coming full circle and returning to her beginnings with a new jug band album, Maria Muldaur & Her Garden of Joy.

The new album is a reunion between the Grammy-nominated singer and some of the alumni of the legendary Even Dozen Jug Band. Though much of the repertoire comes from the idiom’s classic era, the 1920s and ’30s, the material certainly touches on current topics. Muldaur found two songs from the Great Depression era called “Bank Failure Blues,” and “Doggone the Panic Is On!”
