Mae, which stands for Multisensory Aesthetic Experience, was founded in 2001 by vocalist and guitarist Dave Elkins and drummer Jacob Marshall. Its first album, “Destination: Beautiful” was released in 2003 by Tooth & Nail Records. The band has played on the Warped Tour and on the Virgin College Mega Tour with bands Over It and Yellowcard. The band released “Singularity,” its latest album, in the summer of 2007 under Capitol Records.
In 2009, Mae started a campaign for Habitat for Humanity: “12 Songs. 12 Months. 1 Goal. Make a difference.” Mae is recording one song a month throughout 2009, streaming each for free on www.whatismae.com, and selling them for a $1 minimum donation to Habitat for Humanity.
