Highly recommend Maia! Booked her for my wife's 40th birthday party and she was the perfect compliment to the event. Especially appreciated her professionalism and the great mix of songs she prepared had everyone talking. Thank you Maia!

Maia was absolutely wonderful. We hired her to sing and play guitar at my father’s memorial service, and she brought such warmth and beauty to the occasion. Her rendition of The Beatles’ “In My Life” was incredibly moving and one of the most beautiful moments of the service. Maia has a gorgeous voice and performed with such sensitivity and grace. She was also punctual, professional, and simply lovely to work with. We could not have been happier and would recommend her wholeheartedly.

Maia joined a "house band" situation for a Saturday outdoor event. We worked out set lists based on tunes she knows/likes and others our band often plays. She did a very nice job -- beautiful voice, great vocal range, very comfortable singing in front of people, and fun/relaxed personality. A delight to work with!

Maia Dobbs lit up our July 5th sunset party, captivating everyone with her stunning vocals and masterful guitar work. Her impressive repertoire—from mellow classics to upbeat hits—and innate ability to read the room made the evening truly unforgettable. Maia is not only incredibly talented, but also an absolute pleasure to work with. We can’t wait to have her back!
