   About Maria DeMaio
"Her Side" is being featured on XM Radio's Unsigned Radar Report!

"Fine Line" is being played on 92.5 The River. Call 1-800 -352-9250 to request it!

"Beyond the Pale" is being played on WFNX, 101.7FM on their New England Product radio show. Call 781.595.WFNX to request it!


New Hampshire-born singer-songwriter Maria DeMaio has been performing since the age of three, when she belted out an impromptu version of Robert Palmer's "Bad Case of Loving You" from her car seat. She has since forged a name for herself in the fierce Boston music scene, winning over audiences at such staples as The Paradise Lounge and Harper's Ferry with her one-two punch of refreshing songwriting and a powerhouse voice that has been called both "soulful" (Boston Globe) and quietly scintillating" (SnapPop!). As frontwoman and songwriter of Maria DeMaio & the Fellas, she created in just two short years a raw and instantly recognizable sound that has set their act a head above the rest.

DeMaio fuses the artistic freedom of jazz, the power of soul, and the raw emotion of blues into a seamless blend that conjures shades of the top artists of the past 30 years. She combines her profoundly emotional delivery with intensely personal songwriting that is steeped in intent and sincerity. With songs that are as catchy as they are clever, Maria demonstrates that pop can break free of its cookie cutter roots. And backed by an ever-increasing fan base, she is well on her way to showing us just how far her sound can go.

Awesome. I hear Billy's a tough guy to get a response from.
Should I just try and hope he responds by mid-May? lol

You lost your voice?? I'm sorry. That really sucks. I'm sure you're up to your ears in tea right about now :) Amy & I did the open mic challenge at Lizard Lounge a couple times. Either place would be awesome.
Think Billy would double bill us at either place? Would you be down for that?

Hey Maria! I see you're playing WERS tomorrow. I'll make sure to get to a radio at 5pm. I'm actually playing today @ 3:30pm w/Tim Blane. I'll be cajoning it up. Check it out if you can. I hope all is well. Me and Amy want to share a bill with you soon.
Any preference on local venues?
