SELF proclaimed ‘sci-fi folk evangelists’ Maia are taking a break from recording to play The Heron Theatre in Beetham on February 21.
The quartet have spent the last three years touring and playing festivals and as a result have morphed and matured into what has been described as ‘harmonic psychedelic sci-fi folk and disco rock’.
Winners of the Yorkshire Gig Guide award for outstanding live band in 2014, their Beetham show will see Maia showcasing new material from their forthcoming album – set for release in the autumn.
Their genre busting mix glides easily from sweet stunning vocal harmonies to complex blissed out grooves, punctuated by echoing banjo, shimmering mandolin, spooky brass and captivating vocal melodramas.
