International Women’s Day Writers Round with Maya Trippe, Kathy Veazey & Lori Mast- 3.8.25
Maya Trippe
Maya Trippe has been sharing the gift of music for years and when most people hear her voice for the very first time they usually do a double take because they can’t believe their ears or their eyes. Her strong but sweet mellow tone will carry you back to the easy listening rock sound of the 70’s. She has always said that she loves to entertain those that enjoy just sitting down and listening to her music, so that’s exactly what she gives. Don’t let it be said that you won’t get your moneys worth if you take a chance and attend one of her shows because from the beginning to end you hear a whole lot of music. Music should stir up old memories, take you to far off places, make love run a little deeper or maybe just remember something that triggers a solitary tear for someone you’ve lost. Maya’s music will embrace all of those emotions and leave you with a little something to talk about. Her influence has been inspired by the greats like Journey, Fleetwood Mac, the Stones, Neil Young, the Eagles and country legends like Dolly Parton and Johnny Cash, but she never forgets where she came from and with that said the young artist takes some of today’s greatest hits and puts her own touch into hits from Miley Cyrus, Meghan Trainor and Alisha Keys to name a few. Never forget that she has written and composed her own music and lyrics which reflects her true light and shares it with audiences who just happen to be lucky enough to catch one of her performances. From Chattanooga, Tennessee to Huntsville, Alabama and Nashville to Birmingham respectively, Maya has graced some of the largest stages in the southeast performing in front of as many as 40,000 guests on the river. Performing at the Riverbend Festival, Cornbread Festival, Valley Fest, Hamilton County Fair, New Salem Mountaineer Folk Festival and Three Sisters Bluegrass Festival. While aweing some of the larger crowds with her pure and soulful voice some of her greatest and most memorable performances have come on although smaller stages, they have been venues that she thoroughly playing. The Art Center in Athens, Tennessee has been a huge part of her journey, having performed at entirely too many productions to mention. Some of her favorite shows have come at Puckett’s of Chattanooga, where she regularly takes the stage to entertain guests, and claims it as her home and family. Farm To Fork, Ft. Oglethorpe, Georgia with Courtney Daly and Ivan as hosts opened on their stage. Whether in an intimate setting or a grand scale production prepare for a voice that breaks from a traditional sound and will leave you wanting so much more.
Kathy Veazey
Kathy Veazey was writing songs way before you could record an album using your iPhone and she fondly remembers the day she got a four track cassette recorder. Being able to play with vocal harmonies was mind blowing and she continues to use drum tracks and loopers to help her compose her tunes. “It’s hard not to write the same tune over and over and I use lots of hacks to keep from doing that. I still always seem to wind up in D minor though!”
She has been playing music in the local scene for decades and is now with the band Pan-O-Ram Club with her husband and other talented Chattanooga musicians. Kathy’s tunes are featured in their live shows and folks can also check out two albums with her former band Lumbar Five on YouTube. And be sure to catch Pan-O-Ram Club at Puckett’s Chattanooga!
Lori Mast
Lori Mast has been playing, performing and singing music all her life. Homegrown right here in Chattanooga, she credits her love for music and any talent she has to a higher purpose and to her Dad and extended family. Growing up in a rich, varied musical environment enabled her to go on to become a singer/songwriter as well as play banjo, fiddle, and guitar. She has been playing and singing in various Chattanooga bands since the early 1990's, playing locally and on the road, doing everything from Bluegrass, Gospel, Celtic, Country, R&B, Blues, Rock and Roll, to Classical. She has taken part in several songwriting workshops and played many Chattanooga venues and festivals including Songbirds, Chattanooga Market, Riverbend, and Nightfall.
