Interview with Me And Mae

A little serendipity mixed with an abundance of talent has played a profoundly significant role in the rapid rise of British Columbia-based country band Me And Mae!

Shawn Meehan, Colette Trudeau, Adam Reid, Ben Parker and Joe Fazio, together under the moniker ME AND MAE, have forged a reputation as the band to watch on the Canadian country music scene. It all started with the single Love Me Leave Me Lonely, which Meehan co-wrote with Carly Rae Jepsen, who at the time was his guitar student. The release of the band’s debut album Off The Rails (Cordova Bay Records) on May 13th, 2014 was quickly followed by a Nashville tour and a nomination for Top Country Best New Artist (2014) and winning the BC Country Music Awards - Ray McAuley Horizon Award (2014)!

Me And Mae has been touring extensively across Canada, playing festivals such as Craven Country Jamboree, Havelock Country Fest and working on new music with prominent producers to help take their sound to the next level. Me and Mae has worked with Jeff Johnson (Wes Mack, One More Girl, The Chris Buck Band) and with Dan Swinimer of Manicdown Productions (Madeline Merlo, JoJo Mason, Tim Hicks) to help hone their new sound. Me and Mae is ready to unleash their new sound with their new single Feel Good Feelin' which puts a spotlight on Shawn and Colette's pop-country vocals and the band's ability to create Zac Brown Band-esque harmonies.
