OUR STORY

Mae and THE Guys is a collaboration between road-tested Twin Cities musicians intent on delivering an authentic live experience. The result is a band with real instruments, real voices, and the kind of chemistry you get when the people on stage genuinely enjoy playing together. If you like live music that feels human — soulful vocals, mandolin next to accordion, guitars beside piano, and nothing prepackaged — you’ve found a home.

Our catalog moves through Americana, country, folk, and some surprises. We pull songs from across decades, slip in originals when they arrive, and let the energy move back and forth between us and the room. We’re here for listeners, dancers, and anyone who wants to relax, listen, and groove.
