91原创 band Me and Mae is leaving 2019 with a bang and kicking the next decade off with a trip to Anaheim.

Fronted by Walnut Grove resident Shawn Meehan since 2012, the band, made up of Jenni Doyle, Jay Wittur, Braden Williams, and Rod Senft, has been touring around western Canada and Washington.

Me and Mae takes their inspiration from seventies-southern-country-rock like The Eagles, though newer artists like Zac Brown and Eric Church do give them an influence.

Now, they鈥檒l be venturing down to southern California themselves for a popular trade show called National Association of Music Merchants (NAMM).

鈥淲e just got invited to play the Convention in California on the main stage Jan. 16 鈥� it鈥檚 the biggest music trade show in the world,鈥� Meehan said.

鈥淲e played three years ago, but our manager made some great connections brought them up front to the main stage for a 40 minute talent showcase,鈥� he continued.

The band has earned a growing audience over the past year, having played the Gone Country concert this past summer in Cloverdale and racking up 106,000 views on their video for the song 鈥淔eel Good Feelin鈥� in just a single month.

Now, their next music video for the original tune 鈥淏uzz On鈥� will be released on Dec. 1.

鈥淚 wrote it with a friend and on the surface it sounds like a drinking song, but if you dig deeper, it鈥檚 actually an anti-drinking song,鈥� Meehan explained. 鈥淚t鈥檚 a bit of tricky song, but it鈥檚 about the guy who doesn鈥檛 need alcohol, a girl in his life makes him high鈥� high on life and love.鈥�

Shot in Kelowna this past summer, Meehan said the video is the first of many; Me and Mae will be releasing a new music video every two months for the next year.

To close out the year and celebrate 鈥淏uzz On鈥檚鈥� release, they鈥檒l be performing at The Red Room (398 Richards St) in Vancouver, Thursday, Dec. 5.

鈥淲e are asking for people to bring a blanket to the show to donate to Blanket BC,鈥� Meehan added.
