Atlas Maior is an Austin-based trio that has a deep appreciation for everything the world has to offer. Named after the eleven-volume world atlas published in Amsterdam in the 17th century, the band keeps a basic philosophy: While the lines of maps may identify the separate identities of places, music will always transcend.

Of course, this means having an endless array of influences to infuse into their sound  – Eastern Arab, North Indian, East Asian, South, North and Central American, among many other diverse styles. And the diversity is what appeals to them.

Atlas Maior has a guest slot at local jazz/blues/twang trio The Love Leighs‘ weekly residency show tonight at Hotel Vegas, 1500 E. 6th St. Atlas Maior will perform at 9 p.m., followed by The Love Leighs at 10:30 p.m. Check them both out. Recommended.
