Inspired by the local bluegrass fervor of central Maine, Zevulon hit the New England music scene in June of 2005. Composed of siblings Clarissa, Rachel, Robert and Joshua (ages 15-21) and mom Deb Maynard, this family band has quickly become an area favorite. The fun and friendly atmosphere they create on stage makes for a show that's both exciting and easygoing.
Clarissa and Rachel cut their teeth on bluegrass guitar and fiddle with the Abbott Hill Ramblers, contributing significantly to the band's second and third albums. Now focusing solely on Zevulon, their smooth complementary vocal blend personifies the group as they continue to excel on guitar and fiddle. Robert and Joshua began playing bluegrass with their sisters in 2004. Inspired and mentored by such skilled banjo greats as Chris Prickitt, Jens Kruger, and Carter Logan, Robert plays banjo, percussion and bass while emerging a strong singer himself. Joshua plays the mandolin with a devoted energy and flair that is all his own. Finally, with a rich background in jazz and blues, Deb Maynard plays the bass and the saxophone, bringing yet another dimension to the band's attractive style and sound.
Zevulon's repertoire and performance is truly versatile and unique -- as evidenced by a resume that includes open stages, talent shows, benefits, churches, coffee houses, fairs, festivals, house concerts, banquets, picnics and weddings. Their down home theme is flavored strongly with country and gospel as they embrace strains of bluegrass, folk and blues.

The first time I saw Zevulon I knew I was witnessing something very special. It was as if I was being taken on a musical journey by the Maynard family. They perform with a passion few groups are able to capture, making every song their own; from traditional bluegrass to country, fiddle medleys, and spirituals, like Touch of the Master's Hand.
Zevulon is a true family effort, each member bringing unique gifts to the musical table. Clarissa, Rachel and Robert's voices intertwine into a single voice like only family members could. Before and after each show, they get to know the people that have come to see them on a personal level.
What I love most about Zevulon is that I enjoy them more every time I see a show. I find myself watching the calendar, waiting for my next chance to go on another musical journey with the Maynards.
