Feel the Warmth of Maitland at the TLA Dec. 20

Listen to any of Maitland’s tracks; you suddenly feel transported back to the days of summer camp. You can almost smell the smoldering wood as the last flicker of light dims. They create introspective folk over a simplistic, acoustic-styled, instrumental background that can often get expansive blanketing its surroundings and evoking emotional sincerity that connects with its audience. Singer-songwriter Josh Hines will be backed by a full band for the first time tonight as they find themselves on a much larger stage than they are particularly used to at the TLA. Come join in their adventure! They’ll be supported by rifftastic alt rockers Dear Althea, country-pop solo artist Angela Everwood, and jam-band outfit Sauce. Theater of The Living Arts, 334 South St., 8pm, $8, All Ages – Shaylin O’Connell
