FitzMaurice Band

The Fitzmaurice Band is an up and coming band based out of Bowie, MD, playing the entire spectrum of bluegrass, from the traditional high and lonesome sounds of Bill Monroe to contemporary acoustic music. This young quintet has been wowing audiences throughout Maryland, Virginia, and West Virginia with their tight, passionate vocals, virtuousic instrumental work, and high levels of energy on stage. With an emphasis on original music that the band classifies as “alternative bluegrass”, their repertoire also covers not only the traditional sound, but also their own take on classic rock and country. The band features identical twin sisters, Maria and Sarah Fitzmaurice, Brandon Snellings, Mike Simms, and Aaron Malone.

Twenty year old identical twin sisters, Maria and Sarah Fitzmaurice, founded The Fitzmaurice Band in late 2006. Their voices (Maria’s smokey alto and Sarah’s pure, soaring soprano) blend together beautifully in sibling harmony for a “bluesgrass” sound that is uniquely their own.  As the rhythm guitarist,  Maria has emerged as the group’s primary songwriter and Sarah keeps it all together on the upright bass.  Both girls are sophmore’s in college – Maria is majoring in Interior Design and Sarah is studying Vocal Performance.
