Me and Mae, the brainchild of Shawn Meehan, is bringing back the old school, country-rock sound to a new generation. Armed with big vocals (Eagles, Zac Brown Band, and Alabama) southern fried guitars ( Lynyrd Skynyrd, Allman Brothers) and a tenacious drive, they plan to take the world by storm!
Me and Mae has spent the last few years developing and honing their craft, during which they’ve played several major Canadian Country festivals including Sunfest, Rockin River, Big Valley Jamboree and Dauphin Countryfest. They have also showcased at the world famous NAMM convention in LA and opened for major recording artists such as Tim McGraw, Alan Jackson, Rascal Flatts, and Dallas Smith.
