About Mai Bloomfield
Mai Bloomfield
vocals / guitar / cello
Born in Santa Monica, California, Mai was raised in a family of artists and musicians. She started playing cello at age 9, and by 16 she was playing and writing her own songs on guitar. Out of college, Mai joined her first band, which would become Raining Jane, with whom she's been able to grow as a musician for over a decade.
In addition to her work with Raining Jane, Mai supports other artists in the studio and on the road. She's been on The Tonight Show with Sara Bareilles and Ingrid Michaelson, and has played on records for many other artists such as Dan Wilson and Adam Cohen. In 2011 Mai joined Cohen on an extensive international tour, both as an opening artist as well as part of his trio, with shows reaching from Canada to Europe and Australia.
In 2010 Mai released a solo EP "Eclipse," and she has been recognized for her songwriting with awards from the Telluride, Kerrville and Rocky Mountain Folk Festivals. She enjoys teaching songwriting at various music camps, and collaborating with other artists -including the blank page- as a means to keep digging deeper into the art and mystery of songwriting and musical expression.
