Reishi Maylen an Ontario-based psychedelic / progressive / jam rock artist who brings a wide range of musicality to the stage, seamlessly blending everything from driving progressive rock passages to Grateful Dead-inspired psychedelic jams, exhilarating electric guitar solos, exploratory group improvisation, and thoughtfully inspiring lyrics promoting peace, love, harmony, and symbiosis. He is now rolling forward from his recent debut album release “Aquarian Bard”, a diverse 22-song triple-album filled with nearly 2 hours of musical gems, exemplifying his vibrantly creative & improvisational spirit, purposeful songcraftsmanship, & vast multi-instrumentalism, which includes instruments such as the electric and acoustic guitars, fiddle, cello, electric piano & synths, mandolin, bass, drums, theremin, & the pipe organ in the Sanctuary of a nearly 200-year-old cathedral in Peterborough, Ontario. Reishi Maylen and his band are making a big splash in the music scene and quickly evolving into a household name with electrifying live performances featuring a stellar cast of intuitively jamming musicians including Christian DeRose (drums), Julian Rayfeild (bass), Jules Pastoor (keys & trumpet), and "the Special Guest" Kai Maerefatkhah (guitar). Together they bring a fresh take to the "trifecta of the classic rock sound": psychedelic, progressive rock, and jamband, leading listeners on an archetypal journey of the soul through their live jams; starting in "the Shire", in the feeling of home, they embark on the grand adventure, exploring new terrain, embracing the great mystery, peaking the summit, and returning home.
