Originally from the green rolling hills of Lancaster County, Pennsylvania, Maya de Vitry is a Nashville-based fiddler-turned-songwriter with a voice that glides effortlessly between tenderness and strength. Energized by the spontaneity of live performance and a pursuit of truth in her lyrics, de Vitry returns with her fifth full-length album, All My Faith. Prioritizing presence and grit over studio polish, she sounds joyously at home in the alt-country and indie-folk genres. Recorded and mixed by five-time Grammy Award-winning engineer Sean Sullivan and self-produced by de Vitry, All My Faith is a buoyant collection of songs brought to life by a cast of her closest confidantes and collaborators. All My Faith will be released on de Vitry’s own Mad Maker Studio label on July 24, 2026.

Presented by KNKX. Al Di Meola occupies a rare and enduring position in contemporary music as a living legend whose work continues to define the present moment. For more than five decades, he has shaped the language of modern instrumental music through an unmistakable synthesis of jazz, rock, Latin, Mediterranean, and world traditions-marked by rhythmic sophistication, compositional intelligence, and extraordinary precision.
A GRAMMY Award-winning artist, Di Meola is the recipient of the Miles Davis Lifetime Achievement Award and the BBC Lifetime Achievement Award. He is a seven-time recipient of Guitar Player Magazine's Best Guitarist award and a multi-year winner of DownBeat Magazine's Readers Poll. His standing among the Greatest Guitarists of All Time is consistently affirmed by leading international publications and cultural institutions.
Di Meola first rose to global prominence in the mid-1970's as a core member of Return to Forever, the seminal ensemble led by Chick Corea. During this period, the group's recordings redefined instrumental music, expanded its audience, and established new artistic benchmarks that remain influential today.
Al Di Meola returns with his acoustic band and the program "The Guitarchitect," a refined concert experience that unites five decades of music, sweeping multimedia visuals, and the stories that shaped a lifetime of artistry. This tour is a celebration of legacy, innovation, and the evolution of the Di Meola sound - performed with the unmistakable precision and passion that have defined his world-renowned career.
