It has been 40 years since Midnight at the Oasis was riding the top of the pop charts, and Maria had the brilliant idea to put together a show where she chronicles her 50-year musical journey through American Roots Music, to the Oasis and Beyond. Maria and her band perform her iconic hits, including Midnight at the Oasis, I'm a Woman, etc., as well as many oft-requested "fan faves' from the 40 albums she has recorded in the past 40 years. She treats her audience to previously unseen photographs and videos, (A PowerPoint presentation) and shares fascinating, often humorous personal stories from every stage of her 50-year career - from her early days in the '60's with The Jim Kweskin Jug Band, through her years of "pop stardom", and on to her continuing exploration of the many forms of American Roots Music -- Blues, Bluesiana, Jazz and Gospel
