Born and raised in Portland, Maine, SNAEX play to and for no one, and everyone, all at once.

The band has finished its seventh studio album in twelve years of music making and the best little record label outside of Dallas, El Gran E. Records, will release HAS BEEN GIVEN this December, performed at Mayo Street Arts on January 12.

HAS BEEN GIVEN blends the acoustic/electronic and concrete/abstract elements, between which SNAEX are constantly toggling. Both the record and the show will and do feature SNAEX as Chris Teret (Company), Chriss Sutherland (Olas, Fire on Fire, Cerberus Shoal), Tyler Heydolph, and Tom Rogers (An Evening With, Cerberus Shoal).

Joining the SNAEX stage this time will be TOM K. with a set of piano music as well as an acoustic set from NYAH of Portland's STREAM REGGAE.

TOM K... is a multi-instrumentalist who has played in bands in Boston and Portland for almost 40 years, including local favorites Olas, Cerberus Shoal, and Tarpigh. Having played bass in a reggae band, electric guitar in various rock bands, and oud and nay in Arabic music groups, Tom returns for this final phase of his career to his first instrument, the piano. Tom is the organist/choir director at St David's Episcopal church in Kennebunk.

NYAH... started playing reggae music in his homeland of Dominica. At age 15, he moved to Guadeloupe after which he spent several years performing in local bands at resorts and festivals across various Caribbean Islands. In 1997, he moved to Maine and created Stream Reggae. He has gone on to release 4 original studio albums and has performed with many famous artists such as Sugar Minot, Third World, and Burning Spears. Nyah gets the zeal to write, play, and sing from meeting with the people and fans who bring overwhelming joy, laughter, and good energy that never fades away.
