The 'Sarah Howard Duo' plus special guest Dagmar Fuentevilla with a Salsa show finish off the year 2013 with a bang!!

This will be a great show, with loads of new songs, new instruments, and lots of fun...plus the chance to get salsa dancing if the mood so takes you!!

Tanino is an amazing restaurant and bar, in Urb Benamara dos Hermanas, Estepona with stunning decoration & furnishings as well as great food and ambience,,,it is one of our favourite places to play!!

See you there... if not...Happy New Year to you all!! XXXX

Well, after an amazing year 2013 which saw a trip to Amsterdam, Holland, and Tuscany, Italy for music work & gigs, some amazing events and a very busy summer with both solo & duo projects... plus a change of name... the Sarah Howard Duo are taking some time off gigs. 

We are currently working in the studio, recording and learning new songs. This week we have added another 40 songs to our repertoire, which we will be working on over the next few months to be ready in time for summer! These include new hits like " La La La" by Naughty Boy, "Louder" DJ Fresh, and an amazing acoustic rendition of Bruno Mars' "Locked Out of Heaven'. We are also working on adding more percussion to our set with the use of loopers, synth beats, live cajon & bongos..and a new foot pad with 10 drum sounds.. which Sarah will be playing at the same time as playing guitar & singing!!!....so they certainly have their work cut out over the next few months.

One last gig on New Year will start off 2014 with a bang...and all the hopes for an even better new year to come! Peace & Love :)

After a well deserved winter break, the Maia Project has taken a slight change in direction, and are no longer working as the trio with drummer Gustavo Gottardi.

However, the duo is still as great as always, & has been learning a long list of new current songs, in their usual "Live Lounge" style of unique cover versions & are preparing a new set for the coming year. This includes using some electronic beats, & adding extra percussion instruments to the duo with Cajon & a loop pedal. 

Maia Project also plan to record a new CD over the coming months, which should be ready for summer, and we are also filming as many of our new songs as we can, to share with you all, so check out our new videos as and when we post them! We are keeping very busy and hoping for a great year in 2013.....  Thanks for your support and hope you all have a happy and healthy 2013!!

...just to update you all..we are currently locked away in our studio learning new songs, as well as working on some originals!!..I am branching out onto a little more percussion, and my Boss loop pedal...and hoping to bring back my electric guitar to the project...and Dagmar is learning his new Korg keyboard (so many buttons & 100 page instruction manual!!) which is a great new tool.

I am particularly excited about the song "Uninvited" the acoustic version from Hed Kandi, by the Freemasons..which originally was written by Alanis Morissette....very atmospheric! amazing and atmospheric and loving the high singing in this one, sounds awesome!.....also loving the Emeli Sande song "Next To You", as well as our acoustic piano ballad of David Guetta's "Titanium".

We are really hoping to make some more music recordings too..and videos..so  hope we can share these with the fans soon..when we come out of hibernation!!

Merry Christmas! XX

After a very long and busy summer with both the Maia Project, and solo projects, we are taking a well deserved break, while we learn some new songs, as well as playing with our "new toys" which we hope to impress you all with again soon!!


Don´t worry, we will be playing a few gigs, and not stopping altogether!!
Maia Project XXX

After playing at Heaven for the last 3 years as a solo resident, I will be appearing on Saturday for the first time with the trio...will be a nice surprise for those who have only ever seen me play acoustic...BRING IT ON!!

..well...it was a great gig in the hot midday sun...and the beach bodies really loved our eclectic mix of cool beach tunes..Back nest week! XX

Ok...so I know it has taken me nearly 3 years to make a website for the Maia Project, but I have been busy ok!!....gigging, recording, learning songs, confused by internet technology, web designers who quit half way through, renewing domain names, broken NAS drives containing all the files, mountains of photos, music tracks & videos, has seen me organising my sock drawer more often than needed in an attempt to bury my head in the sand!! Anyway, I managed to make one myself at last, & will be developing it slowly over the coming months. Nothing fancy, just functional &informative...so hope you enjoy it!!
