Aidan Mayes
GET TO KNOW AIDAN
If you are lucky enough to live in the Okanagan Valley, you have likely heard the captivating sound of Penticton’s very own Aidan Mayes. She is an award-winning performer and music coach, and she boasts a magnetic presence to each of her performances. Like a storm she is a force - at once tremendous and gentle, guiding her audiences through her performances of inclusive interaction. Aidan is a very accomplished songwriter, and is vastly talented as a singer, guitar player and entertainer. If you were to parallel Aidan Mayes’ musical style to other well-known artists, Sarah McLachlan, Joni Mitchell and Tori Amos would all be among the top comparisons.
