Bio
Queen bonobo is a genre-bending, creative brain child of Idaho native, Maya Goldblum. Drawing on themes from her personal life, travels, heartache, and combining elements of folk, jazz, and her own strange brew, Maya Goldblum crafts visceral soundscapes using brush strokes from every color of the emotional palate. She first cut her teeth on the Eichardt’s stage as a young girl, singing jazz standards in her father’s band and developed her own style across the pond while studying music at an Irish university and song writing in the pub. Maya has been wanting to find a new musical community since 2019 when she left Ireland, and unexpectedly fell in love with New Orleans and is in the process of making it her new home base. With the help of long-time Queen Bonobo member Jack Kelly on bass and Dan fields on percussion, the trio births a new collection of Maya Goldblum originals that will be released this Spring.
