Formed in Los Angeles in late 2016, The Marías is a smooth rendezvous of jazz percussion, hypnotic guitar riffs, smoke- velvet vocals and nostalgic horn solos, there’s something undeniably sensual in the group’s dreamlike fusion of jazz, psychedelia, funk and lounge.
The band is named after its lead singer María Zardoya, who was born in Puerto Rico and raised in Atlanta, Georgia. She and her partner Josh Conway, the drummer, met at a show at the Kibitz Room, the bar and music venue inside Canter's Deli in Los Angeles. She was performing on the bill and he was managing the sound, something he had never done before. They began writing almost immediately after meeting and subsequently began dating. Soon they recruited close friends to join as band members: Edward James on keyboards, and guitarist Jesse Perlman.
