About Maya De Vitry
Originally from Lancaster, PA, Maya de Vitry is a Nashville-based artist whose music blurs the lines of folk, indie rock, and Americana. An admirer of the dedicated song craftof writers like John Prine, Gillian Welch, and Townes Van Zandt — and of the stirringvocals of artists like Bonnie Raitt and Nina Simone — Maya de Vitry’s music inviteslisteners into a space of openness and connection. After a formative chapter with the roots-Americana trio The Stray Birds, she launched her solo career with the 2019 album Adaptations, earning praise from Rolling Stone Country, NPR Music, and No Depression. Since then, she has built a devoted following, drawn to both her recordings and her powerful live performances. Known for her magnetic voice and hard-won sense of purpose, Maya has toured in North America and Europe, supporting artists like The Wood Brothers, Aoife O’Donovan, John Craigie, and Mighty Poplar. Her songs have also appeared on albums by Molly Tuttle, Lindsay Lou, and Steve Poltz, and her skills as a multi-instrumentalist and harmony singer have contributed to many Nashville recordings. Her fourth full-length release in just six years, The Only Moment, is a 10-track testament to personal reinvention and creative growth. "I’m not just making different music now. It feels like I’m breathing in a different atmosphere," she reflects on her evolution from The Stray Birds to her solo journey. Her sense of liberation is especially apparent in her live shows, which have become a space for spontaneity, peace, and freedom, often woven together with personal stories that connect the songs. “After the show, I just want to know if I’ve helped you feel more free,” Maya says. “That’s my unspoken agreement—to myself, my bandmates, and everyone in the audience.” Despite a seemingly relentless creative pace, the recording of The Only Moment—produced by Maya and mixed by Grammy-winning engineer Justin Francis (Madison Cunningham)—was deliberate and unhurried. “It was like making a long-exposure photograph, but with music,” Maya explains, having allowed the songs to breathe over the course of nearly three years. “I shelved this record for months at a time, and each time I came back to it, I heard new possibilities. In today’s music industry, there’s pressure to share everything, to turn our process into ‘content.’ But I treasured keeping this record to myself and letting the songs simmer.”
About Alexa Wildish
Colorado singer-songwriter Alexa Wildish grew up in a musical family in the horse country of Southern California, where her father collected vintage guitars and she studied classical voice from age seven. Wildish spent her school years in musical theatre, but at age 17, an entirely different musical spark was ignited when she saw The Wailin’ Jennys open for Nickel Creek, and she took the hard-left turn from musical theatre to Americana. She had been on her way to Broadway, but the lure of performing original material was strong; she threw herself into songwriting, learned guitar and octave mandolin, and never looked back.
Wildish released her self-titled debut EP in 2020, staking her claim as one of Americana’s most compelling new voices and making it easy to see why she took home first place at Planet Bluegrass’s emerging singer-songwriter competition in 2019. With a pristine voice likened to Alison Krauss and Eva Cassidy, her lyric “I'll be your refuge, a place you can go,” aptly describes the rich and mystical soundscapes she so deftly inhabits on her freshman effort.
Wildish’s latest EP After Love comes after her celebrated run as a contestant on NBC’s The Voice in 2023 and is the singer-songwriter’s ambitious submission to the cover record canon. Building upon the modern folk sound of her first EP, After Love is both lush and disciplined, poetic and technically brilliant--an ode to the art of crafting a cover song with staying power.
