Alex Maes grew up in a small town in Colorado nestled in the Rocky Mountains. She developed a knack for songwriting and performing when she was 10, and shortly after formed a rock-pop group with friends, touring the state and gaining a love for performing. Eventually she received a full ride to Berklee College of Music, where she began exploring the depths of her artistry and met the artists who would become Alex Maes & the Connection. The group is a Boston-based nu-funk band that has been together since 2019. They play catchy original material that Maes composes and also cover popular songs in their funk-jazz style. With Francisco Morales on drums, Warren Pettey on keys, Kevin Barber on bass, Flynn Tanner on guitar, and Maes on vocals, Alex Maes & the Connection is impossible to ignore with the band's infectious grooves and contagious arrangements.
Alex Maes & the Connection will be performing at City Hall Plaza on August 6 as part of the Summer in the City concert series.
