Miss Maybell

Miss Maybell is a vocalist, guitarist, and musical historian whose work is dedicated to preserving and reinterpreting early American popular music. With a deep focus on songs from the late 1800s and early 1900s, she uncovers compositions that were widely distributed as sheet music but never recorded, bringing them to life through historically informed performance and contemporary interpretation. Her work blends artistry with cultural preservation, offering audiences a rare window into a largely unheard chapter of American musical history.

Miss Maybell has performed at festivals, listening rooms, and historic venues across the country, engaging audiences with both her musical performances and the stories behind the songs. Her work goes beyond performance, serving as a form of cultural restoration—reviving voices, composers, and narratives that have been largely lost to time.

Her current project, Unrecorded Songs, is a collection of material sourced directly from archival sheet music. Through careful research and arrangement, she transforms these forgotten works into living, breathing music, ensuring their place in today’s cultural landscape.
