Meraki

Meraki, an indie-rock trio of Rowan Doran (guitar), Elijah Hindman (vocals) and Tate Ryan (drums) formed in the summer of 2024 at Music Resource Center’s song writing camp and are now rising juniors at Charlottesville High School. Meraki's sound is influenced by the soaring melodies and odd time signatures of Radiohead, and the songwriting of Modern Baseball and local favorites Work Wear. 2025 was a break-out year for Meraki. They won the Music Resource Center's Battle of the Bands and played at Fridays After Five and many other local stages like Firefly, The Southern, and WTJU. Meraki will be dropping their first album this August on all streaming platforms! You can follow them on Instagram @meraki.the.band and YouTube @MerakiSuperFanClub
