Maia Waern began song writing in her sandbox years, and she still writes in the sand when she can.  She attended, according to a fan, the “University of Bob” – Bob Dylan, Bob Marley and Bob Snider.  Her folk songs are about memories and feelings that are both personal and universal.  Love, for example; and gratitude. As precise as her photography, Maia’s music zooms in on her perspective of being human.  With wooden instruments (Alhambra guitar & vintage ukulele), and mostly solo, her recordings are intimate, gentle and comforting. Maia Waern’s debut album, From Now On, gives listeners a chance to take a break from the din of a busy society – to take a deep breath.
