Maya de Vitry

What a great concert! Concert was sponsored by the Portland Folk Music Society. The venue was a small church. Most of the audience was not familiar with Maya de Vitry, but I have followed Maya since she departed from The Stray Birds. Joel Timmons on guitar joined Maya for this tour. The folks added padding to cover the glass windows that separated the lobby from the seating area. The sound was very good. Maya even played piano on one song. Maya performed "The Bridge" from the last Stray Birds CD ("Let It Pass"). About the only thing that would have made this concert better was more musicians joined. I have listened to a new album nearly every day for over 40 years and "Adaptations" and "How to Break a Fall" (Maya's first two solo albums) are among my top 10 favorite albums of the past decade. I enjoyed the stories about how the songs were created. I flew from Anchorage, Alaska to attend some concerts and this was the best.
