The Maras are the psychedelic-soul lovechild of LA native, Josh Conway and Puerto Rican-bred, Atlanta-raised, Mara. A smooth rendezvous of jazz percussion, hypnotic guitar riffs, smoke-velvet vocals and nostalgic horn solos, theres something undeniably sensual in the groups dreamlike fusion of jazz, psychedelia, funk and lounge. With Mara on lead vocals and Josh on drums, the couple is joined by their closest friends and fellow musicians. On guitar, Jesse Perlman, born and bred of LA, with tones that can melt steel, say his bandmates. On keys, Edward James. On trumpet, Gabe Steiner.Drawing inspiration from both their vastly diverse backgrounds and the intimacy of their mystic Hollywood Hills commune, Mara and Josh often write, record and produce within the walls of their own home with their dog, Lucy.
