U.S. Tour Dates Announced
(August 24, 2015 -- New York, NY) – The Dash Between The Dates, the new album by acclaimed singer/songwriter Maia Sharp, will be released on October 16, 2015 on eOne Music.
The 12-song The Dash Between the Dates showcases Sharp’s vivid lyrical insight, infectious melodic sensibility and soulful vocal grit. The album features effortlessly eloquent originals such as the first single "Nothing But the Radio," as well as tracks like "Phoenix," "You're Alive" and the stirring title track, which offer pointed meditations on life, love, sex and mortality that are steeped in hard-won personal experience. The album also features "I Don't Want Anything to Change," co-written by Sharp, which is already familiar to fans through longtime admirer Bonnie Raitt's popular version.
