The Marías

The Marías are the Grammy-nominated psychedelic-soul lovechild of Puerto Rican-bred,
Atlanta-raised María Zardoya and Los Angeles native, Josh Conway. The two are joined by their
closest friends, Jesse Perlman on guitar and Edward James on keys. Their undeniably intuitive
musical chemistry can be heard in the band’s smooth rendezvous of jazz percussion, hypnotic
guitar riffs, smoke-velvet vocals and nostalgic horn solos. There’s something undeniably
sensual in their dreamlike fusion of jazz, psychedelia, funk and lounge. Since the release of
their debut album, Cinema, The Marías have earned the reputation behind their impressive
upward trajectory, including two Grammy nominations, a Billboard chart-topper and
collaborations with some of the biggest names in Latin music, including Bad Bunny and Tainy.

Now comes the next phase of their journey, the release of their sophomore album: Submarine.
Stepping back into the psychedelic indie rock roots that defined their breakout EP, Superclean,
Submarine delivers on a feeling of nostalgia, a sense that you’ve been here before but the
geography has evolved. Lead single from the project, “Run Your Mouth,” introduces fans and audiences alike to this new immersive world, garnering over one million streams in its first week of release. The cinematic swells of their debut record have been traded for a sonically matured return to form for the album that Josh calls the “bookend to their trilogy,” María’s trance-inducing vocals transporting you to a place of solitude and exploration.

In the live show, The Marías are joined by Gabe Steiner on trumpet and Doron Zounes on bass.
The detail that has defined their cinematic style off-stage is brought to life during their live
performance as the group delivers striking visuals that beautifully compliment their dreamlike
songs, creating an indisputably unique and seemingly transportive experience.

With María on lead vocals and Josh on drums, the couple is joined by two of 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.
