MARIS: Singer-Songwriter in New York

About MARIS

MARIS is the moniker of American singer-songwriter Maris Maddux-Ward, whose writing sits between rock and pop forms. Her work emphasizes direct melodies and lyric-forward structure, shaped for the intimacy of club rooms rather than large-scale production. In New York City, she brings that approach to the Mercury Lounge, presenting original material with live arrangements that keep the focus on voice and songcraft. Her performances tend to favor clarity over spectacle.
