MAGGIE THARP

Eclectic folk-pop for dreamers

Singer/pianist Maggie Tharp’s music takes you somewhere else—whether it’s back to a memory of a summer evening just before a rainstorm, or to another world where the one that got away never did, or into the sounds and lyrics of other artists you already know and love. Her original music echoes her earliest memories of Paul Simon, ABBA, and Carole King records, but is equally influenced by the evolution of music throughout her life, from jazz bands to Dollywood shows. Whether she’s singing a poignant bridge she wrote or a 70s soft rock song, there is one common thread in the songs she writes and the songs she chooses to cover—she’s chasing that ethereal energy that only music and true love can give you.
