"Acoustic pop with Gospel overtones, Maeve is a fresh new trio with an adult contemporary vibe. Harmony focused and lush, Maeve is rapidly winning converts on the Boston circuit."
-Club Passim, Cambridge, MA
"Maeve has uniquely strong melodies and harmonies. They could sing forever and God wouldn't mind. Lyrically, they are not cliché, not saying what they think we want to hear, rather telling their stories honestly, candidly, and in so doing reminding us of our own. As people, they are humble, funny, accessible, smart, refreshing, encouraging and needed. When they smile, they can light up a room. When they sing they can light up a lot more."
-Dan Russel (Director of Newsound Concerts and Inside Out Soul Festival)
Maeve is a collaboration of three women artists - Courtney Reid, Rachel Taylor and Rollyn Zoubek - blending together their own distinct voices and styles to create a cohesive sound rich with harmony reminiscent of the Indigo Girls and Crosby, Stills and Nash.
Maeve was birthed in 2001 when a promoter friend suggested that the girls, who were all performing in different musical configurations at the time, collaborate for an evening at a venue just for fun. This performance led to additional collaboration both as performers and songwriters. The Boston-based trio then decided to take their music underground to try out their new songs and develop their unique sound alongside Boston commuters while busking in Harvard Square and at the Back Bay Train Station. One day while playing in the subway, the then-nameless band met a little girl named "Maeve" who danced to their music and dropped a dollar in the open guitar case. Thanks to this little angel, the band discovered its name.
Above ground, maeve continues to share their music in East Coast clubs, coffeehouses, colleges, festivals, churches and women's conferences. Maeve has shared the stage with Jars of Clay, Ollabelle, Brooks Williams, Nicole Nordeman, Sara Groves and Sam Phillips. Their singles "Sweet Abandon" and "Found a Love" have been highly requested for airplay on WERS Coffeehouse, Emerson College Radio.
Maeve has independently released four recordings and have worked with producers Phil Madeira (Buddy Miller), Don Chaffer (Waterdeep, Sara Groves), and most-recently with Grammy Award winning producer Charlie Peacock (Switchfoot). Maeve's fifth recording, "And the World Became Kind," (produced by Charlie Peacock) will be released in September 2008.

Hi Ladies Thanks for adding me. I really enjoyed listening to your music. Such great vocals and harmonies!! I hope you're having a wonderful week. Take care. Steve
Mother's of Grace club is fantastic! I liked it the first time I heard it but it gets better the more I listen. Wishing you continued success. You girls are amazing.
Hi Ladies, Nico hooked me up with a copy of "Mothers of Grace Club" a while back and I wanted to let you know how much I enjoyed it. Great Vocals, songwriting the works.
Grace be unto you and peace from God our Father and the Lord Jesus Christ.
I thank God for everything that you do to give Glory to our Father… all other things will be burned up on Judgment Day. There is only one God The Creator, there is only one way to Him, through the Lord Jesus Christ, and there is only one way to receive the free gift of salvation. To accept Him as your Savior and repent from your sin. Then He, and only He, can and will create a new creature in His family. Then and only then can you become a child of God and live forever! The alternative is to reject Christ and be judged by the letter of God's law and be found guilty and be sentenced to hell for eternity! This decision to accept Christ as your Lord and Savior must be made before you die or before Judgment Day. Neither which do you know the time or place which they will occur. May your walk in holiness grow every sunrise…
From the Director @ AOO, and your brother & friend in Christ, Steven
Again Jesus spoke to them, Saying, "I am the light of the world. Whoever follows me will not walk in darkness, but will have the light of life." John 8:12
