Mike collaborates with New England area Artists has toured with SeepeopleS, The Johnny Clay Shanks Band, and shared the stage playing w/ Nirvana's bassist, Krist Novoselic. Primarily pursuing a solo career, Mike has released his debut EP - “ Apartment Secrets ” and is working on his 2nd EP.. 🎹

- “ We were aware of how talented Mike Maurice was on the keys, but nothing could prepare us for his fantastic guitar work on his new album "Apartment Secrets". Layers of electric and acoustic guitar are joined with mandolin and (of course) keys creating a nicely done soundtrack for Maurice's cool and soothing vocals. The songs themselves are the true stars of the show with the two singles, "Yesterday's Mistakes" and "Forest Fire" bookending a pack of really well done songs.” - Mainebrews N Musicreviews

Rising singer-songwriter and global citizen Eli Lev is making the world a smaller place, one song at a time. Eli pens lyrics and melodies for everyday enlightenment—songs that resonate because they’re heartfelt, earthy, and offer the wisdom he’s gained through lifelong travel and self-discovery.

Prior to becoming a full time musician, the Silver Spring, MD native spent three years as an 8th grade English teacher on the Navajo Nation in Northern Arizona. The indigenous traditions he learned during this time are the inspiration for his Four Directions project. Just as each cardinal direction holds unique characteristics in the Navajo tradition, so do each of the albums in Eli’s ‘Four Directions Project.’ Together, the series imaginatively and intrepidly connects spheres and generations within a body of work that is irresistibly uplifting, emotionally resonant, and down-to-earth authentic.

Their songs evoke a charming union of styles, a dichotomy of the old and new, indie-folk sentiment blended with old time blues, bluegrass and a tinge of traditional jazz. Their music is nostalgic in process and vision but finds a uniqueness in the context of bustling New York life far removed from the origins of the music they love.

🌅 It is an especially fun evening as it is Midsommar/Midsummer - a Swedish holiday celebrated on or around the Summer Solstice. It is quite literally the “middle of the summer” - a time for rest and celebration between spring planting and the fall harvest. Traditionally, the day is spent singing festive songs, dancing around a decorated pole, weaving flower crowns, and worshipping the life force. Celebrate with us! 🌅
