“Selected as the 2025 Hudson West Fest Emerging Artist, Maidin’s music is an entanglement of acoustic and electronic sounds. A playdate between the old and the new. Fans of Madison Cunningham, Bon Iver, and Joni Mitchell will feel at home in Maidin’s vivid emotional landscapes. Her lyrics dwell on a lifelong obsession with nature, and the existential crises that a love of the outdoors tends to inspire. With a microphone in her hiking pack, she collects field recordings of birdsong, wind, and rain, and builds her songs around these natural sounds.

She has performed all over the east coast at iconic venues like Café Wha? and the various City Wineries, as well as on unconventional stages on Jersey beaches, in forests, and in abandoned cemeteries.

Her band is comprised of insufferable jazz geniuses who she has forced into the folk world. This leads to a sound that is wandering through genres in search of an identity. An electric violinist, a ukulele bassist, and a drummer who all sing in 3-part harmony. And with a lead singer who swaps between guitars, mandolin, dulcimer, and synthesizers, you never quite know what to expect
