SARANAC LAKE – BluSeed Studios will host Grammy nominee Maria Muldaur at 7:30 p.m. Wednesday Oct. 4.

Tickets are $25.

Known for her 1974 mega-hit “Midnight at the Oasis,” Muldaur’s 49-year career can best be described as a long and adventurous odyssey through the various forms of American roots music.

During the folk revival of the early ’60s, Muldaur began exploring and singing early blues, bluegrass, Appalachian old timey music, beginning her recording career in 1963 with the Even Dozen Jug Band and shortly thereafter, joining the very popular Jim Kweskin Jug Band, touring, and recording with them throughout the ’60s.

Muldaur has toured extensively worldwide, and has recorded 38 solo albums covering all kinds of American roots music, including gospel, R&B, jazz and big band (not to mention several award-winning children’s albums), before settling comfortably into her favorite idiom, the blues, in recent years.

Often joining forces with some of the top names in the business, Muldaur has recorded and produced on-average an album per year, several of which have been nominated for Grammy and other awards.

Her critically acclaimed 2001 release, “Richland Woman Blues,” was nominated for a Grammy and by the Blues Foundation as Best Traditional Blues Album of the Year, as was the follow up to that album. Her timely 2008 album, “Yes We Can!” featured songs from some of the most socially conscious songwriters of the past half century: Bob Dylan, Marvin Gaye, Allen Toussaint, Garth Brooks and others, and featured her Women’s Voices for Peace Choir, which included Bonnie Raitt, Joan, Baez, Jane Fonda, Odetta, Phoebe Snow, Holly Near and others.

For her 2009 release, Maria revisited her original Jug Band roots, teaming up with John Sebastian, David Grisman and Dan Hicks. Maria Muldaur & Her Garden of Joy was nominated for Best Traditional Blues Album of the Year by the Blues Foundation, and garnered Maria her sixth Grammy nomination as well.

Seating is limited, so advance purchase is recommended.
