Me and Dad, mostly. But I have many musician friends on the road, and we play together often...Excerpts from July issue of "NightFlying: The Entertainment Guide" ("Eureka!" by Karen Fitzpatrick):
[...]"The Basin Spring Park Bandshell, as well as the Art Colony on N. Main Street has free music in the afternoons for your enjoyment. I got to catch a wonderful performance by M.A.B. (Maia Archote Band) recently. Normally, M.A.B. is made up of singer/ songwriter Maia Archote on guitar, Melissa Carper- upright Bass, violinist Michelle Levy, and Johnny Arredondo on drums. They were missing Melissa that day, but were joined by Maia’s Dad, Steven Archote playing lap steel. Maia’s style is sweet, but strong and I love her original songs! All of M.A.B. are versatile veteran musicians currently living in Eureka Springs, and the group is fun to watch and easy on the eyes!'
Influences
Mom and Dad, Counting Crows, Paul Simon, The Beatles, CSN&Y, The Cranberries, Lisa Loeb, Melanie...

Maia Archote is a self-made musician, through and through.
Growing up (home-schooled) on a small farm in the Ozark Mountains,
Maia had the freedom to create her own unfettered style.
She learned to play the guitar at age twelve, and has been singing since before she can remember..
She and her parents play music together on a regular basis..
Among a swarm of benefits, house concerts, festivals, and bar gigs,
Maia has opened for the likes of:
Marcia Ball, the brilliant pianist fron Austin,
and Badfinger, the Brittish rock band.
She began her recording career at age fourteen.
....More later....
