Maria Coyne

Maria Coyne is the songwriter and lead singer for the indie-pop band Maria and the Coins, who bundle big-picture pop ambition into earnest, indie sensibility. The five-some fuses singer-songwriter-driven pop hooks with the vulnerability and honesty of an indie band.

Frontwoman Maria Coyne's powerhouse vocals are matched with emotive storytelling often focused on finding light amidst a chaotic world. While the writing features nods to Coyne’s pop, country, and theatre roots, the music finds its sweet spot behind alternative rock-influenced arrangements resulting in a sound often likened to Sara Bareilles, Michelle Branch, and James Bay. The band has opened for touring artists such as Christina Perri, Haley Reinhart, Betty Who, and Forest Blakk.

With the release of their latest album, Forward, the band gained traction with local and national outlets like American Songwriter, Indie Spoonful, and Please Pass the Indie.
