Maybe April

Maybe April is an American musical duo based in Nashville who play Americana indie folk.[1][2] They have opened shows for Brandy Clark and Sarah Jarosz.[3][4] Singers Katy Bishop, Alaina Stacey and former member Kristen Castro met at Grammy camp in 2012.[5] Kristen Castro left the band in February 2019.[6] When they performed as a trio, their harmonies were described as "lustrous"[7] and "spring-clear".[8]

The lustrous harmonies of the voices; the appealing mix of their personalities; and their winningly under-amplified sound which lends their performance an almost acoustic quality. Those songs are a mix of country/folk-Americana/indie sounds and feature sophisticated lyrics that suggest the glowing beauty of this trio of feminine souls hides a certain amount of heartbreak and worldliness, though not the loss of a romantic spirit.
