Steadily and consistently over the years, artist, producer and songwriter Maia Sharp has built one of the strongest reputations among the ranks of Nashville’s all-around pros. WMOT was lucky to have her in our East Side studio just before her recent Wired In performance to offer songs from her imminent new album Tomboy, which arrives Sept. 12. Bass player Will Honaker joins Sharp for the title track, plus "Is That What Love Does" and "Only Lucky.”
Sharp grew up near the business, daughter of hit LA/Nashville songwriter Randy Sharp. But she’s sharply carved out her own place in that space where Americana crosses over into mature pop. Her songs have been cut by The Chicks, Bonnie Raitt, Cher, and Lizz Wright, and she’s not resting on her resume. The new Trisha Yearwood single “The Wall Or The Way Over” is one of hers, as well as the title cut of the new Keb’ Mo’ / Taj Mahal album.
Her fan base as an artist has been legion and loyal, among fans and fellow masters. Don Was calls her “one of America’s great singer-songwriters.” We concur and are proud to share this set with you.
