MAPLE
Four friends who've played the D.C. area on and off for years, Maple is progressive Americana rock with tinges of world rhythms and funk. "Their rock sound is one of the more balanced I have heard where trying to push them into indie or classic subcategories seems misleading. These guys rock out in an agreeable way that should appeal to most every rock music fan." -David Hintz, DC Rock Live
