Maria Muldaur
Often joining forces with other fine artists, she has recorded and produced on-average, an album per year, several of which have been nominated for Grammy and Blues Foundation awards. These last few years have seen the 50th Anniversary Kweskin Jug Band Reunion concerts, gospel collaborations with the Campbell Brothers, performances with former Stone Bill Wyman and The Rhythm Kings, and notable reissues of her early recordings with Jim Kweskin, and a new album released in late 2018—"Don't You Feel My Leg ~ The Naughty Bawdy Blues of Blue Lu Barker" which garnered a 2019 Grammy nomination for Best Traditional Blues Album.
She remains a revered and preeminent interpreter of American Roots music.

Maria Muldaur - Peggy Lee Tribute: "A Woman Alone with the Blues"
"Don’t You Feel My Leg: The Naughty Bawdy Blues of Blue Lu Barker pays tribute to a great New Orleans blues singer and testifies to the vitality and mastery of Maria Muldaur as she continues to mine rich veins of American roots music. " ~ Robert Cataliotti, Living Blues Magazine
"Anyone who could survive half-a-decade or so as a female member of the Jim Kweskin Jug band deserves a half-century career. ...another interesting and ultimately enjoyable album of music. "Don’t You Feel My Leg: The Naughty Bawdy Blues Of Blue Lou Barker" is music for the mind and bordello. Rating: Four Stars. ~ David Bowling, Cashbox Magazine
