Why you should go
Widely influenced by many genres, Maza Blaska pays consistent attention to melody, focusing on harmony and thematic lyrical narratives.
“Despite the heavy subject matter, “Storyteller” presents bright, accessible indie-pop of the post-”Garden State” variety imbued with omnivorous globetrotting flair. The shorthand is easy: “The Shins do tango, mariachi and more!” But these songs are honest and complex, fully realized on the musical plane after two years of development.”
-Chris DeVille, Columbus Alive
“A cross-continental friendship, a kaleidoscopic fascination with the musical styles of myriad cultures and a flexible arrangement that permits a rotating cast of characters have turned Maza Blaska into a thriving band.”
-Kevin Joy, The Columbus Dispatch
Josh Eagle & the Harvest City
Josh Eagle and The Harvest City came together in the spring of 2009.

“Dig your stuff.” — Todd Burge
“Broken Ring has been making a lovely stink about town for some time now. They play female-fronted Americana-type music with great melodies.” — Leo DeLuca, Southeast Engine and Donkey Coffee & Espresso
“Colleen Carow is a mix of Norah Jones and KT Tunstall. Her soft vocals seem to float over her music, creating laid-back folk. It is easy to tell from her lyrics that she has a master’s degree in poetry. Light, but at times bluesy, Carow introduces folk to its sultry side.” — The Post, “Listen Locally,” 1-14-10
“This is one fun band that’s worth checking out. Expect some swinging originals and twangy covers from one of the best groups we’ve heard from Athens in quite some time.” — Jackie Welker, Court Street Grill
“Danceable country-folk-rock for the people!” — Eric “Junebug” Leighton, The Athens News and The Royales
