At eighteen years old, Denver pop singer-songwriter Edwina Maben entered a national songwriting program sponsored by Guitar Center. Grammy-winning producer RedOne judged the participants, and Maben ranked in the top five out of 9,000 entries.
“It was the first time I had this shift in my perspective where I suddenly saw what came from a little extra effort and time and a little bit more belief in myself,” says Maben, who will be opening for DeVotchKa on Saturday, May 22, at Levitt Pavilion. “To see that result at first just sparked my motivation to be like, ‘I need to try this.’”
Maben, whose songs are inspired by Joni Mitchell and John Mayer as well as plenty of local artists, says music is one of the best tools she has to reflect on whatever she is going through in her life. But after COVID-19 shutdowns, she has also found inspiration from movies and TV shows.
