Welcome to Song Sessions, your brand-new singer-songwriter concert series in The Mockingbird. Led by Nashville musician and Greenville fan favorite Maia Sharp, these intimate sessions of stories and songs feature a rotating lineup of guest songwriters each month. This is the place to be for anyone who deeply connects with music and enjoys tales about the musician's life.
This session has a lot of musical-influence wild cards and can go anywhere. Buckle up as Maia Sharp drives this multi-faceted music journey with genre-defying songwriter David Ryan Harris and literary master lyricist Adam Wright.
ABOUT MAIA SHARP
Maia Sharp has had her songs recorded by Bonnie Raitt, The Chicks, Cher, Edwin McCain, David Wilcox, Art Garfunkel, Lizz Wright, Lisa Loeb, Terri Clark, Keb’ Mo’ (including his recent single "Junkyard Dog" with Taj Mahal) and Trisha Yearwood (including her recent single “The Wall or the Way Over”) and many more. And through it all, Maia has continued to record her own albums; nine solo releases, one collaborative project with Art Garfunkel and Buddy Mondlock and her duo project, Roscoe & Etta. Maia is also an adjunct professor at NYU and has been writing for Songwriting With: Soldiers for eight years. Her latest album Tomboy was released in September 2025.
ABOUT DAVID RYAN HARRIS
David Ryan Harris is a genre-defying singer-songwriter and multi-instrumentalist whose blend of soul, folk, rock, and R&B has earned him a devoted following. He has toured and recorded with artists like John Mayer, India.Arie, and Dave Matthews, while his solo work showcases introspective songwriting and vocal depth. As a writer and producer, he’s contributed to hit songs such as “Battle Scars” (Guy Sebastian & Lupe Fiasco) and “Just a Dream” (Nelly) and continues to release solo projects that highlight his versatility and emotional range.
ABOUT ADAM WRIGHT
Adam Wright writes songs about people, as he states in the gut-wrenching song conversation “The Banker” from his 2018 solo album Dust. A true singer-songwriter, Wright colors in the shapes of characters so numerous and diverse you’d need a series of novels to tell their full stories. A bookworm with a taste for classic fiction, Wright admits, “I probably should’ve just written short stories instead of playing music. It would’ve been easier on my fingers.”
