In this rare performance, Mae & Spike of the Maeflies will perform a couple’s duet. Music is a strong bond for this pair of 26 years. Mae Rukavina and Eric (Spike) Stich conceived the Maeflies band in their home music studio in 2001. Now, The Maeflies, Minnesota’s alt-country-rock ensemble of 5, have been performing their trademark sound for over 13 years. They deliver rich signature harmonies, hot guitars and songs that tell a story. The Maeflies know their way around any iteration of guitar, including pedal steel, mandolin and banjo. All the Maeflies can sing and pass around the lead vocal. Mae fronts the band; and you will discover why. The Maeflies have released 2 albums of original music: “Goodbye Sometimes” and “Dinkytown Highway”, both available on iTunes and Pandora Radio. www.maeflies.com
