Geoff Muldaur, one of the great voices and musical forces to emerge from the folk, blues and folk-rock scenes of the 1960s and ’70s appears at the Mainstay in Rock Hall, Maryland on Saturday September 19 at 8:00 p.m. Admission is $20.

Geoff Muldaur first gained notice on the highly influential recordings made as a founding member of the Jim Kweskin Jug Band. He later appeared and recorded with Paul Butterfield’s Better Days group and as a duo with his then-wife Maria Muldaur. He is also noted for his many collaborations with artists such as Jerry Garcia, Eric Von Schmidt and Bonnie Raitt who calls him “one of my favorite singers.”
With his great guitar chops and his expressive, singular voice, Muldaur gives new life to the music of rural and urban America from the first half of the 20th Century. He intersperses the songs with wonderful stories of the Cambridge, MA and Woodstock, NY music scenes of the 60’s and 70’s.
Muldaur took a sabbatical in the 80s to compose scores for film and television, and produce off-beat albums for the likes of Lenny Pickett and the Borneo Horns and the Richard Greene String Quartet. His definitive recording of “Brazil” provided the seed for – and was featured in – Terry Gilliam’s film of the same title.
Now touring again, his recent recordings and performances featuring his legendary singing, outstanding guitar work and well-crafted interpretations of classic, oftent obscure, American material and his own unique compositions have earned high praise worldwide.
The Mainstay (Home of Musical Magic) is the friendly informal storefront performing arts center on Rock Hall’s old time Main Street.
