Maria and the Coins bundle big-picture pop ambition into earnest, indie sensibility. The five-some distinguished themselves in the Minneapolis alt-rock scene by fusing singer-songwriter driven pop hooks with the vulnerability and honesty of an indie band. 

 

Frontwoman Maria Coyne's powerhouse vocals are matched with emotive storytelling often focused on finding the light amidst a chaotic world. While the writing features nods to Coyne’s pop, country and musical theatre roots, the music finds its sweet spot behind alternative rock-influenced arrangements. The band has opened for touring artists such as Christina Perri, Betty Who, JP Saxe, Haley Reinhart & Jeremy Messersmith.

 

The band’s debut full-length album ‘Forward’ was released on March 5th following a release show at First Avenue & 7th St Entry. The albums single “Movin’ On” was featured in The Current’s ‘Friday Five’ and City Pages ‘Local Frames’ and has received airplay across the midwest.
