MARIS Live at the Cactus Cafe! Get ready for a high-energy night when MARIS hits the Cactus Cafe stage on Wednesday, Oct. 14, at 7:30 p.m. The Los Angeles–based, Montana-born singer and songwriter has been called “pop music’s next mega star” by the Los Angeles Times, blending heartland rock with glam-pop hooks, elastic vocals and big, sing-along choruses.

With buzz from outlets like Rolling Stone, PAPER and Stereogum, MARIS is best experienced live, where jumping, dancing and full-on participation are part of the deal.
