"Somewhere in the magical musical realm of Mazzy Star, Nancy Sinatra & Lee Hazlewood, and Belle & Sebastian." - San Francisco Chronicle
"'On High' is one of those secret little records that you pull out when trying to impress your know-it-all geeky friends. Why? It’s a stunning mix of country, rock, blues, folk and whatever that constantly surprises, and there’s a good, but regrettable, chance that they haven’t heard it." - LA Weekly
"Like the best country singers, alt or otherwise, Maki's voice is conversational yet somehow self-contained, as if it'd be quite happy talking to itself sitting on an open plain, or whistling to itself behind a wheel." - Mojo
"She can sell a song with only her voice and an acoustic guitar." - Pitchfork
“'On High' is a collection of pastoral country-folk songs that soar with gentle beauty. Sometimes this record reminds me of Neil Young's 'After The Goldrush' in that it touches emotions with effortless sentiment and it also reminds me of Iris Dement's country-folk classic 'Infamous Angel'. Pure and innocent as Canadian Snow. Or something like that.” - NPR
“Life and energy, light and hope are Maki’s muses for 'On High', and even though there are a few shadows lurking in the corners of her music, they just go to show how bright the sun can be if you let it shine through.” - Exclaim
"'On High' is an eclectic buffet of old-time folk/blues and country/rock that’s at times very Giant Sand-like in its idiosyncrasies without sacrificing one whit of Maki’s distinctive personality." - Harp
“In her own way, Maki rocks as hard as the fiercest metal band. Anyone that can get an audience stomping their feet and silently swaying in the course of a twenty minute set is well on their way to musical success.” - Chart Attack
Sometimes I play music and sometimes I teach grade school. My third solo album, On High, was released in February 2008 on OWOM in the USA, Confusion Unlimited in Canada, and on vinyl by Saved By Vinyl.
