THE END OF AMERICA
Philadelphia natives The End of America (TEOA) caught the attention of the industry and fans alike with their debut release Steep Bay (2010), following up with the sophomore LP Shakey (2012) and the critically acclaimed eponymous S/T album in 2016. TEOAs new single BreakAway, released on June 7, 2019 on all digital and streaming platforms, is also available as a
limited edition 7 vinyl and features a version of Simon and Garfunkels America on the B-side.
Break Away is the first in a series of new songs that will be released by TEOA in 2019. TEOA is blazing new trails in the digital age by ditching the album format and releasing a new song each month for the remainder of 2019. Recorded at a barn cabin and produced by the band and mixed by Trevor Leonard, Break Away takes The End of America in a new bold direction,
morphing acoustic instrumentation with drum loops and the bands signature harmonies. The result is a cohesive mix of classic harmonies and new sounds delivering a fresh outlook on what
future will hold for TEOA. Break Away was written and recorded on the spot during a break mid-tour. It was one of those sessions that felt like magic. A full moon. There was a pond full of peepers near the cabin and you can hear them on the tracks. We played on wineglasses and
looped stomp/clap ideas. Lots of spontaneity and experimenting. Were excited to let this one out of the bag, states Brendon Thomas.
The End of America (James Downes, Trevor Leonard and Brendon Thomas) consists of a group of friends who met on the road, after singing harmonies on each others songs while on
tour as solo artists. We lucked out, our voices just seemed to blend together naturally. Since, weve been burning across the countryside, touring, recording in remote locations, just having
fun. Its great being in a band with your best friends. The Philadelphia trio credit their name to Kerouacs On The Road -- relating to traveling across the groaning continent in search of inspiration. The sound is centered on their voices, weaving 3 distinct leads into captivating harmonies over a solid foundation of Folk, Rock, and Americana. WXPNs The Key states
TEOA is, soul-striking harmonies mixed with folk-rock melodies.
The End of America has been recognized for their powerful live performance which highlights dynamic songwriting, harmonies and playful stage banter. They have performed at festivals
across the East Coast and Midwest including the 2016 Philadelphia Folk Festival where they were voted Favorite New Artist and will return for a performance at The PFF in 2019. In 2017 TEOA won the Emerging Artist Showcase at Falcon Ridge Folk Fest, returning in 2018 to perform as FRFFs Most Wanted band.
TEOA have shared stages with the likes of David Bromberg, Brian Fallon, Larry Campbell, Mandolin Orange, Wild Child, The Ghost of Paul Revere, Rocky Votolato, and Beck. Beck invited TEOA to play at his Song Reader album release show in Los Angeles after hearing the trios rendition of Please Leave A Light On When You Go. Their performance was broadcast live on KCRW and earned praise from Spin and Filter.P.O. Box 1568

MAYA DE VITRY
My name is Maya, and I am a musician - a singer, a songwriter, and I play guitar, violin, and banjo, and Im learning some other things. I played classical violin growing up, and also always loved writing in every form - even writing papers for school. I eventually discovered songwriting as a way to express myself and process the world and connect with others. I spent many months traveling around and playing on the street as a busker, with an open fiddle case or guitar case, learning the incredible immediacy and intimacy of live music. In 2012 I co-founded a band called The Stray Birds, and we toured full-time for nearly 7 years (2012-2018). When the band split up, I retreated from touring and I got a job as a barista at a Starbucks in Nashville. I spent that year working through a lot of stuff, and just generally retreating from music and touring. But in the middle of that year, I released my first solo record, in January 2019, and I wrote and recorded another one that Im aiming to release in 2020. I am so grateful for all the different experiences I've had so far, and I feel like I get to choose music all over again as I begin this next solo chapter. I also really love co-writing songs with other artists, so I find time for that too.
