Maybe April's Debut is Definitely Available NOW

April 3, 2017 Ilana Kalish
Maybe April = Kristen, Katy & Alaina

Maybe April = Kristen, Katy & Alaina

Maybe April is a wistfully soulful Americana/ Country trio based in Nashville. Made up of multitalented musicians/singers Katy Bishop, Kristen Castro and Alaina Stacey, they just released their Debut EP April 1st (definitely appropriate 😏).

The tracks on this album are fresh, poetic "journal to amp" material... emotionally relatable for anyone who, well, lives.... and their 3 part harmonies = #TheFeels in the best way.  It's the sound of positive, beautifully broken, honest and soulful living complete with "a certain amount of heartbreak and worldliness, though not the loss of a romantic spirit." (Chicago Sun-Times[5]).

Maybe April's Debut is Definitely Available NOW on:

Spotify
iTunes

Give Maybe April Your Attention (Full Audiotree Live performance below👇🏼)

Bonus! "Pieces of You" is one of my personal faves that is still waiting in the wings (not on this album & so good I had to include...)

For Yer Other Ear

Go n'See Maybe April
