Please join us as we welcome Maya de Vitry to the Burnham Presents stage on her album release tour for “The Only Moment”! ​ “with The Only Moment, Maya de Vitry takes her place alongside Laura Nyro and Joni Mitchell as a songwriter and vocalist whose intuitive understanding of the resonance of lyrics and music captures and conveys the emotional depth of human experience” - Folk Alley ​ "an artist with endless potential and whose rising star is well deserved” - Americana Highway “the perfect soundtrack for uncorking that emotion and (defiantly) loving life again” - NPR “an emotionally moving – and gripping – delight” – No Depression “her voice is among the most ethereal and pure in roots music” – Glide Magazine ​ We are long time fans of her music and first presented Maya with The Stray Birds in 2012 at The Ripton Community Coffee House. Her show at last year's Green Mountain Bluegrass & Roots Festival was one of the most talked about all weekend. We are thrilled to welcome this wonderfully talented artist to our stage! ​ Maya de Vitry is a singer, songwriter, multi-instrumentalist, and producer based in Nashville, TN. She grew up in a musical family in Lancaster, PA, playing in creeks and forests, surrounded by fields of cows, corn, and soybeans. She took piano lessons from her grandmother, studied classical violin in school, and learned old-time fiddle tunes and bluegrass songs at campfires and festival campgrounds with her family. Maya first traveled as a fiddling street musician, but quickly fell in love with the craft of songwriting and picked up the guitar and the clawhammer banjo. She spent seven formative years performing in bars, theaters, and on festival stages as a founding member of The Stray Birds, a hard-touring acoustic string band known for passionate live performances and stirring vocal harmonies. When the band parted ways in 2018, Maya began devotedly creating a powerful new body of work as a solo artist. Maya’s music unabashedly blurs genre, weaving country, folk, rock, and pop elements through her vibrant storytelling and her extraordinarily dynamic singing. https://www.mayadevitry.com ​ Sliding scale admission $20 general $25 generous Burnham Presents absorbs the ticket processing fees and all proceeds after expenses go to the musicians.
