Maia Sharp wears many hats. She has had her songs recorded by The Dixie Chicks, Bonnie Raitt, Trisha Yearwood, Keb’ Mo’, Cher, Edwin McCain, David Wilcox, Art Garfunkel, Paul Carrack, Kathy Mattea, Crystal Bowersox, Kim Richey, Lisa Loeb, Lizz Wright and more. She produced McCain’s album Mercy Bound, two songs for Art Garfunkel’s retrospective double album The Singer (Sony) and “Coming Out For Christmas” for American Idol finalist, Crystal Bowersox. She is co-faculty with Phil Galdston and Barry Eastmond at NYU’s Summer Songwriters Workshop.
Sharp has released six solo albums and one collaborative project with Art Garfunkel and Buddy Mondlock that have all been critically-acclaimed and enthusiastically embraced by press and radio. Each release has led to extensive touring throughout the U.S. and the U.K. and appearances on Mountain Stage, Acoustic Cafe, World Cafe, NPR’s All Things Considered, CBS Early Morning and the Today Show, to name a few. She has toured (opening for and often sitting in) with Bonnie Raitt, Art Garfunkel, Jonatha Brooke, David Wilcox, Patty Griffin and Pat Benatar. “Nothing but the Radio,” the first single from her latest album, The Dash Between the Dates charted in Triple A Radio’s top 10.
A South Carolina native, Patrick Davis is a singer/songwriter who has spent the last 14 years making his musical mark in Nashville. Davis has released four well-received full-length albums and toured the U.S. and Europe as both a headliner and support act for Darius Rucker, Jewel and others. Employed as a staff writer for Warner Chappell Music Publishing, he has had more than 50 songs recorded by well-known artists, including Jimmy Buffet, Lady Antebellum, Darius Rucker, Jewel, Guy Clark. In 2016, he formed “Patrick Davis & His Midnight Choir,” an 11-piece band featuring horns and singers currently touring across the Southeast.
Called the “great American romantic” by The New York Times, Edwin McCain has built an enviable career over the past 20 years by balancing his massive pop success with the year-round touring schedule of a tireless troubadour. His hit songs, authentic spirit and surprisingly affable sense of humor keep fans coming back time and time again for nights that feel more like parties with old friends than rock concerts. After recording two of the biggest love songs in the history of pop music – “I’ll Be” and “I Could Not Ask For More – McCain now performs upwards of 100 shows annually throughout the U.S. as a solo artist, with his full band or his acoustic trio.
