Singer-Songwriter Maya de Vitry will perform Oct. 14 at the A-State Fowler Center.

Maya de Vitry is a Pennsylvania-raised and Tennessee-based singer-songwriter. In 2019, de Vitry released her debut solo album“Adaptations” to large critical acclaim.

Her most recent album, “Violet Light”, is her third solo release. It's been described as an open-hearted invitation to explore the tensions between the visible and the imagined, between love and control, and our unrelenting human desire to belong — to a home, to an environment, and to each other.

Arkansas Roots host Marty Scarbrough speaks to de Virty ahead of her concert in Riceland Hall of the Fowler Center at A-State in Jonesboro.
