Singer Maria D'Amato was born in New York City. In the 1960s, she was a member of the New York-based Even Dozen Jug Band and later of the Boston-based Jim Kweskin Jug Band, which also included her husband, Geoff Muldaur. Geoff Maria Muldaur recorded several albums together until their divorce in 1972. She found solo success with the sultry single Midnight at the Oasis, which was featured on her 1973 debut solo album, Maria Muldaur, and she followed with several similar albums, though her commercial success declined. In the 1980s, Muldaur began performing as a Christian artist. She continued to work the club circuit successfully while issuing records like 1994's Meet Me at Midnite, 1996's Fanning the Flames, and 1999's Meet Me Where They Play the Blues. Music for Lovers followed in fall 2000. ~ William Ruhlmann, Rovi
