Mayfly

Formed in November of 2011, Mayfly has seen several iterations including a variety of line-up changes. However, throughout these changes, the group has been creating steadily more immersive and unique music the likes of which has been taking their local scene of Dayton, Ohio by storm. In one part, this is due no doubt to the variety with which they reach out and snare the listener's ear.
While it might not be at the forefront of the band's lyrical message, Mayfly is certainly not ashamed to represent their Christian roots and devout beliefs. "We all believe Jesus is the son of God," says the band. "...We are messed up, and we admit it. We hope to be better today than we were yesterday." However, even in spite of their beliefs and morals, Mayfly makes it a point to reach out to fans of all walks of life-especially when it comes to their live performance. "We're open to discussion, but we don't push the issue...People come to be entertained, not to be preached at," says Joel Holycross. Rather than focus on preaching, Mayfly instead puts their energy into an engaging and energetic live performance. Whether it's at a smaller, indoor venue or an open air festival, the members of Mayfly are absolutely sure to put their all into a memorable experience for each other and for their fans.
