Sounds Like

"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

"An unencumbered singer-songwriter with an easy country-parlour delivery.” - Globe and Mail

"Somewhere in the magical musical realm of Mazzy Star, Nancy Sinatra & Lee Hazlewood, and Belle & Sebastian." - San Francisco Chronicle

“In her own way, Maki rocks as hard as the fiercest metal band.” - Chart Attack

“The country swagger and sweet sincerity of Johnny Cash and June Carter combined.” - Deadbolt



DISCOGRAPHY

SOLO ALBUMS

click here to purchase
On High
(2008)

"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


click here to purchase
The Sun Will Find Us
(2004)

"The Sun Will Find Us boasts a warm Big Pink feel from start to finish. Grand yet intimate, these sweeping songs exhibit a newfound sense of clarity and emotinal weight-a huge leap in form and presentation." - Ottawa Xpress


click here to purchase
Confusion Unlimited
(2003)

"Confusion Unlimited is a set of homespun alt-country folk-rock ditties that go down easy, like Southern Comfort and root beer." - Now Toronto



TOUR COMPILATIONS

click here to purchase
A Midautumn Night's Dream
(2005)

"The antiquated notion of a singer-songwriter being a shaky James Taylor-esque character in corduroys looking like an extra from 'A Mighty Wind' need not apply here. This group is very much a band." - Queen's Journal


click here to purchase
A Midwinter Night's Dream
(2005)

"It is the true testament to collective ingenuity that raises these recordings, exhibiting songwriters comfortable enough in their own shoes to start filling each others." - View Magazine

Thanks also for:
A.) bringing Brent with you.
B.) playing just under a 200km drive from my home (this time).
C.) accepting Canadian money for you CD's!
D.) all of the "teacher jokes". (They don't get old.)

Feel free to come back sometime soon.

Big thanks for the friendship !
And thanks for the music !
I was beginning to think that Myspace was running out of really good artists but then I found you.
If I send you a roadmap over Sweden, would you come over for a tour ?
Could send you one over Finland as well !
