Similar artists with tickets on sale Biography

Maze &, Frankie Beverly, also known as just Maze, is an American R&,B/ soul/ funk band from San Francisco, California.

Formed by songwriter, record producer, singer, keyboardist and guitarist Frankie Beverly initially as Raw Soul in 1970 in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania. A few singles were recorded, but unfortunately none of them took off the way they wanted. The group went through a few personal changes, and relocated to San Francisco, California in 1971. Through a chance encounter with singer Marvin Gaye who took them on the road with him on his tour, the group found a huge amount of success. Additionally, Gaye was the one that suggested they change the name of the group from Raw Soul to Maze.

In 1976 the group signed a record contract to Capitol Records and released their first album entitled “Maze Featuring Frankie Beverly.” The album contained the widely popular singles “Happy Feelin’s,” “While I’m Alone” and “Lady of Magic.” The album also helped them reach certified gold status as well as a huge fan base. The following three years also saw the release of three consecutively released albums, one for each year. In 1980 they released a live album “Live In New Orleans” and continued to sell out show after show.

The group released “Can’t Stop The Love” in the spring of 1985, and in 1989 they signed with Warner Brothers Records. They continued to tour and play live shows to this day.
