March to August (M2A) is an Ozark Mountain-based duo featuring Derrick and Jodi Mears, whose roots-driven sound blends Americana, alt-country, and bluegrass with rich storytelling and thoughtful songwriting. Combining Derrick’s vocals, banjo, guitar, and harmonica with Jodi’s bass, lap steel, and percussion, the pair create a remarkably full sound that far exceeds their two-person lineup.

Known for engaging live performances filled with humor, stories, and unexpected trivia, M2A has built a reputation for crafting ambitious concept albums that weave songs into larger narratives. Their latest release, Highway 75 (2026), follows a long-haul trucker’s search for forgiveness across America, continuing the duo’s tradition of pairing compelling characters with honest, road-worn songwriting. Touring extensively throughout the United States, March to August brings their distinctive blend of heart, craftsmanship, and storytelling to audiences nationwide.
