My name is MAKIE. I made my way to the Deep South (Atlanta, GA) from my family’s horse farm in Blue Earth, MN (by way of singing & dancing across the U.S.–from NYC to L.A.–and internationally). I grew up listening to my aunt sing back-up for Anne Murray, and watching my parents harmonize as wedding singers. It’s understandable how music became part of my natural language. I’m a small-town, country girl at heart, and I have a deep passion for storytelling through song. My love of vintage is real, and you’ll sense that in my sound as it blends the styles of Americana, Indie Folk, and Country–drawing comparisons to Lucinda Williams, Jewel, Jenny Lewis, and Kacey Musgraves.
Let's be pen-pals! I'm sending ``MAKIE mail`` every month. Each envelope includes my latest song with a QR code, original artwork (by me), a coloring sheet, and a note of encouragement – from my heart to your hands.
