Austin Jefferson talks to local band Babehoven in the Daily Freeman. The Claverack-based duo of Maya Bon and Ryan Braun are bandmates and a couple. Braun said, “We have such a deep understanding of each other that a lot of the time I feel like we communicate without words and the only other time I’ve heard people talk about that is within musicianship and playing in a band together.” They met in Los Angeles, moved to Philadelphia, then to Braun’s hometown in Arlington, Vermont, before finding Hudson. Babehoven is currently on the road playing songs from their 2022 album “Light Moving Time,” opening for indie-rock band Slowpulp. They say they make more money selling merch on tour than selling music. Bon said, “I don’t want to be a traveling clothing salesperson. I am one and I’m pretty good at it ’cause I like to make clothes and I like to talk to people. But we’re musicians.” The band says the streaming service Spotify grew their audience but pays them very little. Braun said, “The trade-off is they’ve completely made our work valueless.” Read more about this story in the Daily Freeman.
