About Me

April Maze are a soulful trio that bring together guitar, cello, vocal harmonies, charango, lap steel, congas, drums and didge to tell their tales. A little bit folk, a little bit roots, with a splash of reggae/rock, the diverse sounds of this dynamic 3-piece are hard to place in a box. People have likened them to artists as various as Gomez, The Waifs, Blue King Brown, Norah Jones, Angus and Julia Stone, and even Pearl Jam! These varied comparisons are largely due to April Maze’s versatility through instrument swapping, prominent male and female vocals, and an honest open stage presence.
April Maze have just finished recording their Debut EP. The debut self-titled EP will be available from shows and via the website from May 2008. They will be touring the country to promote their new EP over the summer of 2008/2009.
Signed limited edition EP's are now available on pre-order at gigs or via the pay pal link here at myspace.
