"Mauger and Conroy" is a songwriting side project; both play in their own band. We attempt to write and record a demo song once per session in addition to practicing and revising older songs, it's an ongoing process. Our current goal is to write enough songs for an EP, and then consider playing open mics to test the material in a live setting. Who knows what the future may bring...

Band/artist history

This collaboration started as an ad on Craigslist.com as a lyracist / singer looking for a guitar player. Mauger writes the lyrics, sings, and handles recording. Conroy writes chord progressions which he plays on either acoustic or semi-hollow guitar. The future of this project has yet to be determined.

Have you performed in front of an audience?

Haven't played live just yet. Looking to do a few open mics when we have enough songs in our repertoir.

Your musical influences

90's unplugged alternative, indie college rock, and modern singer-songwriters. Imagine a combination of WXPN meets WPRB or WFMU. The music is a fusion of Mauger's poetic lyrics with intelligent chord changes as written by Conroy. The music is emotionally raw and dynamic.

What equipment do you use?

Conroy plays an Epiphone acoustic or Ibanez Artcore AS73  aNaLoGmAn TS9 w/Silver Mod  SIB Mr. Echo  Ibanez Stereo Chorus  Voodoo Lab Tremolo  Peavey Classic 30w with high gain tubes from Bob at Eutotubes. Mauger records the songs using Shure Mics  Adobe Audition  AMD/Athlon PC.

Anything else?

Consider this a songwriting / demo project. We are continually writing, rehearsing, recording, and revising new songs and covers. Re-recording may be a project of the future.
