Description
“A folk-rock group that draws from acts like Fleetwood Mac and 10,000 Maniacs, Rogers and the Bellows have become one of the city’s best live acts.”
-Jeff Niesel, Scene Magazine
The passionate vocals and prolific songwriting of Maura Rogers are supported by lush harmonies, a dynamic rhythm section, and intricate arrangements with driving accordion and guitar leads. Expect energy and emotion and walk away feeling something profound. MR&B are modern twist on Americana, with tasteful bits of folk and classic rock. The Bellows are Meredith Pangrace on accordion/vocals, Quinn Stefanos on bass/vocals, Jeff Babinski on drums/vocals, and Al Moses on lead guitar.
The musical history of founding band members, Maura Rogers and Meredith Pangrace, began with a life-saving kidney transplant in 2012, and the evolution of their musical collaboration is both compelling and inspiring. Selling out Cleveland’s top venues, they continue to captivate audiences with their powerful live performances. At the root of music is the capacity to move others, and the band achieves it with honesty and fervor.

QUOTES
“Every note played on this album [Always, 2019] perfectly expresses the honesty of the songs. Maura’s voice is idyllic, unlike anyone I’ve ever worked with. It was a treat to be a part of this album.” —Jim Wirt, producer
“Rich and soulful singing, served up with a shot of moxie and an accordion. Fire and honey.”—Annie Hogsett, author
“Maura’s songs have shape and texture and movement. The movement never feels contrived or working hard just to be clever. As a whole, the band feels unfettered, unrestrained, confident. This is joyful music making, even when the lyrics cover difficult emotional territory. I love hearing everyone letting go.” —Dan Bode, musician
