  • Bio

    .. ...... .. Maid*Rite began in 2002 in St Louis, Missouri, when several female musicians, finding too few women in the local music scene, decided to take matters into their own hands. After exchanging knitting tips and laughing over good food, these women began making some good-time music together, and the Maid*Rite jug band was born. Today, Maid*Rite continues to delight and excite audiences of all ages with their heartfelt old-time malt-country music and sassy, rockin' attitudes. Maid*Rite musicians enjoy how the traditional country instruments of banjo, mandolin, guitar, spoons, cowbell, jug and harmonica are given added dimension when teamed with stand-up bass, clarinet, glockenspiel and drumkit. Each member of Maid*Rite writes songs, offering powerful original work alongside fun renditions of classic old country and traditional favorites. Fondly referred to as "the sweethearts of St Louis" by their growing fan base, Maid*Rite has played benefits for organizations supporting women, music, art, fitness, and St Louis city. In 2004, Maid*Rite received a Kick-Ass Award in recognition of their commitment to the St Louis community. Maid*Rite has played at venues all around St Louis, including Mangia Italiano, Off Broadway, Gramophone, Ten Mile House, Wedge, 2 Cent Plain, Erato in Edwardsville, Mad Art Gallery, Joe's Cafe, Lemmon's, Venice Cafe, Pop's Blue Moon, the Schlafly Taproom, Magee's, The Way Out Club, Broadway Bistro, Beale on Broadway, and at events such as Venus Envy, Schlafly Art Outside, Her Story, Ferguson StreetFest, TOCO Music Festival, Schlaffenfest and Mid-West Mountain Bike Festival. .. ............Myspace Layouts.. - ..Image Hosting.. - ..Forums....
