About The Maine:
Hailing from Tempe, Arizona, The Maine has matured both personally and sonically from their inception - now nearing fifteen years ago - without compromising their integrity or losing their sincerity along the way. Fans have had the unique opportunity to grow up alongside the band, made possible by the band’s adamant insistence on meeting every single fan for free after each show on a tour.
With coverage coming from the likes of Billboard, NBC, Nylon, Alt Press, CNN and more, The Maine’s ability to continuously flex their creativity and make dynamic records while maintaining their DIY mindset and keeping their authenticity has not gone unnoticed.
Over the course of their career, the band has toured and performed at festivals worldwide - including the UK’s acclaimed Reading & Leeds as well as headlining their own sold out festival in their hometown. At the forefront of what they do as musicians has always been their regard for their fanbase. Whether it’s volunteering planting trees in partnership with nonprofits alongside a group of fans, hosting a 100% free tour, creating immersive concert experiences that go beyond a traditional stage show, or phoning fans who pre-ordered an album from the band, The Maine is perhaps best known for harboring a sense of community and gifting their fans the authentic feeling of belonging.
The Maine’s eighth studio album XOXO: From Love & Anxiety In Real Time (2021) saw the band climb the alt radio charts with single “Sticky”, debuted at #1 on the iTunes Alternative charts, garner public attention with billboards in NYC’s Times Square and Toronto’s Yonge-Dundas Square, and grace the cover of Rock Sound Magazine.
The band's newest single “Loved You A Little”, features alternative powerhouses Charlotte Sands and Adam Lazzara of Taking Back Sunday. “Loved You A Little” is a break-up anthem being released just in time for Valentine’s Day. Along with John O’Callaghan’s signature voice, Charlotte and Adam perfectly bounce back and forth off each other creating a musical conversation giving depth to the song. The music video for “Loved You A Little” is shot as though it's happening in a magazine featuring high energy performances from all three vocalists.
The Maine is John O’Callaghan, Kennedy Brock, Jared Monaco, Garrett Nickelsen, and Pat Kirch.
