    Old Town Center for the ArtsCottonwood AZ (October 24, 2011) – The legendary Maria Muldaur will perform at Old Town Center for the Arts in Cottonwood on Friday, November 4th at 7:00 p.m.  Backed by her Red Hot Bluesiana Band, Muldaur will showcase the worldwide release of her new CD ‘Steady Love.’  Maria and the Band will also feature many of her chart topping hits including, “Midnight at the Oasis.’

    This, the first co-presentation between Studio Live Sedona and the Old Town Center for the Arts in Cottonwood, is heralded as an exciting stop along the way for this stellar performer.

    Maria MuldaurStudio Live Program Director, Rick Cyge states, “Most famous for her crossover hit, “Midnight at the Oasis” in the mid 1970’s, Muldaur was truly an icon in the folk scene that grew out of Greenwich Village in the mid 1960’s. That scene spawned other luminaries including Bob Dylan, Joan Baez and John Sebastian. Her music has evolved over the years from the raw energy of jug band music to the bluesy new release, ‘Steady Love’. Old Town Center for the Arts offers up an elegant vintage performing space, perfect for this seasoned performer.”

    Stony Plain Records recently announced the release, Muldaur’s seventh album for the Edmonton-based independent label that this year marked its 35th anniversary; “Self-produced by Muldaur, Steady Love is one of the most accessible, joyful and soul satisfying releases in her ever growing catalog of memorable music.”

    “Over the last decade, Maria Muldaur has released a quartet of lovingly and authentically produced acoustic blues albums paying tribute to the early blues pioneers and legends, and garnering multiple Grammy and Blues Foundation nominations. Now – detouring from her ongoing exploration of vintage blues – for her latest release, Maria has decided to return to her much beloved New Orleans to record a contemporary electric blues album that reflects the kind of music she loves to perform live – what she calls “Bluesiana Music” – her own brand of New Orleans-flavored blues, R& B and ‘swamp funk.’”

    “Steady Love contains a compelling mix of contemporary blues tunes written by some of America’s greatest blues poets, including Percy Mayfield, Greg Brown, Eric Bibb, Bobby Charles, Stephen Bruton, Elvin Bishop, Henry Glover and others. Some are debuted here for the very first time, while others are culled from the repertoires of The Staples Singers, Levon Helm, B.B. King, Sugar Pie DeSanto and Arthur Adams. In addition to some high-powered straight-ahead blues, the album features uplifting, gospel-tinged blues numbers like Bruton’s “Walk by Faith,” “I Am Not Alone,” written by Rick Vito, and a stirring, heart wrenching rendition of Mayfield’s perennial classic, “Please Send Me Someone to Love;” plus high-spirited versions of classic gospel anthems, “I Done Made It Up in My Mind” and “As an Eagle Stirreth in Her Nest.” The soul and grit of Steady Love comes from Muldaur’s distinctive, deep and impassioned vocals soulfully preachin’ and shoutin’ the blues, and the greasy grooves laid down by an A-list of New Orleans funk veterans.

    Don’t miss Muldaur’s attention-grabbing, widely accessible and soul-satisfying music at the Old Town Center for the Arts. Tickets are $25 advance and $28 at the door.

    The Symbolism of Jan. 6

    By Tommy Acosta
    Don’t mess with symbols. Just ask author Dan Brown’s character Robert Landon. The worth of symbols cannot be measured. Symbols make the world-go-round. Symbols carry the weight of a thousand words and meanings. Symbols represent reality boiled down to the bone. Symbols evoke profound emotions and memories—at a very primal level of our being—often without our making rational or conscious connections. They fuel our imagination. Symbols enable us to access aspects of our existence that cannot be accessed in any other way. Symbols are used in all facets of human endeavor. One can only feel sorry for those who cannot comprehend the government’s response to the breech of the capital on January 6, with many, even pundits, claiming it was only a peaceful occupation. Regardless if one sees January 6 as a full-scale riot/insurrection or simply patriotic Americans demonstrating as is their right, the fact is the individuals involved went against a symbol, and this could not be allowed or go unpunished.
