Eric Simso, rhythm guitar player of The Maeflies, playing his “signature” Fender Telecaster Semi-hollow body guitar at a gig in April 2014. This guitar was signed by Glenn Frey and Joe Walsh and was given to Eric before the two Eagles performed at a corporate sponsored work event in 2006.

Spike made a daring move by adding another guitar to his fleet at the show on Saturday night. He made room for the Rickenbacker 12 string guitar. Love that “Byrds” sound.
The Rickenbacker 360/12 is an electric guitar made by the Rickenbacker company; it was among the first electric twelve-string guitars. This instrument is visually similar to the Rickenbacker 360. Rickenbacker uses an innovative headstock design that incorporates both a slotted-style peghead and a solid peghead, thereby eliminating the need for the larger headstock normally associated with a twelve-string guitar.
The Maeflies would like to say THANK YOU for supporting our show at The School II Bar last Saturday. The addition of Jason Craft on keyboard and accordion was a real treat. We had a great turnout and we appreciate everyone for being there!

Check out The Maeflies new MUSIC VIDEO!
Many, many artists have covered this great song written by Bob Dylan and Ketch Secor. However, no recording has been as fun as The Maeflies version. Recorded at the School II on April 20, 2013 with audience participation singing the chorus with the Maeflies, great energy was captured from everyone present.
The Maeflies would like to thank all the people that have attended our shows this summer!
We love seeing you and we appreciate your support!
Local Guitar Luthier Legend, Dave Rusan of Rusan Guitarworks made an appearance at the Aster Cafe in October to support the Maeflies show and to assure their guitars were functioning perfectly. The Maeflies have a huge amount of admiration and appreciation for Dave’s work repairing and building amazing guitars. Thanks, Dave!

Rootstime Belgium Radio – CD Review
“It (Dinkytown Highway) is the typical music for all “cruising on the highway” through the car speakers pop. The sound of the group is strong and tends sometimes to a Shania Twain sound but just below the bombastic standard”. Go to REVIEWS tab for the entire review.
The Maeflies 2010 CD “Dinkytown Highway” is available for free listening on Pandora. Create a Maeflies Radio Station to hear Maeflies music on Pandora Internet Radio. Thank you for supporting the Maeflies.
