MayaFlyer's sound is psychorootsafolkadelic - imagine Led Zeppelin marrying Heart, having an affair with Mahavishnu. Combine that with indie rock pragmatism and you've got MayaFlyer's dysfunctional family of ambient sounds, crunchy loud guitar missives to the pope, fingerstyle guitar, harmonium, oboe, piano + all supporting a distinct female vocal lead.

The band finished their debut CD "All The Stars" in December of 2004. MayaFlyer is currently recording their second CD which is scheduled for release in the Summer of 2008.

MayaFlyer Bio

Minneapolis based MayaFlyer began when David Carnes and Lisa Hirst met while attending music school. They wrote their first song together sitting on the banks of the Mississippi river.

In late 2003 the group's sound crystallized when long-time musical conspirator Sean Broderick joined the duo. With Broderick's influence, the roles within the group solidified. Lisa Hirst's dramatic acrobatic vocals took the lead. David Carnes shouldered the majority of songwriting while Sean Broderick and Lisa Hirst fleshed out the details.

The band's sound is a mixture of pure organic source music that takes advantage of computer editing and electronic effects.

MayaFlyer Fan Base

After their debut album, "All the Stars" was released the band focused on their live show and increasing their fan base. They have performed at the top Minneapolis/St. Paul clubs and other outdoor festivals.

MayaFlyer is currently recording their second album. The band is excited about the material and adding new instruments and sounds to the mix. They hope to release the album in the summer of 2008.
