Live band
Maru Haru
Austin indie rock led by singer-songwriter James Tabata, with songs about Asian American and Queer experience, making peace with family and society, and moving through the world with empathy. Influences run from video games and math rock to impressionist classical, J-Pop and indie folk; upcoming album “Dearly Belated” is dedicated to deceased love, proud allies and past selves who needed hope.
Maru Haru is built around a rotating collective of Austin players, layering strings and upright bass under math-rock guitar figures and J-Pop melody.
Frontman James Tabata writes about Asian American and Queer identity, family, grief and hope — the throughline of the band's upcoming album “Dearly Belated.”
