Mayfly Artists
Lucas Haneman!
We are absolutely ecstatic to have Lucas Haneman as a Mayfly artist. Lucas leads the LH Express, Ottawa’s premier Jazz and Blues ensemble. Along with torch singer Megan Laurence, he has shared the stage with Robert Cray, Dave Matthews and a host of others. The LH Express plays hundreds of gigs a year, has charted in the Billboard Top Five (roots), and is in the middle of releasing THREE new albums for 2024.
While in high school Haneman received the CBC Galaxy Rising Star award at the 2005 Ottawa International Jazz festival. In 2008 he received the prestigious Oscar Peterson scholarship and in 2010 he graduated from Concordia University with a BFA in Jazz Studies.
Lucas has been blind since birth but he compensates with a set of golden ears. I'm constantly amazed at how Lucas can pick out the nuances of guitar tones that almost everyone else misses. Lucas is Mayfly's secret ingredient, our ace in the hole, our magic pixie dust. He's one of the reasons why Mayfly pedals sound so good.

Akeem Oh!
We are pleased to have Ottawa Indie-Pop artist Akeem Oh as a Mayfly Audio Endorsee. Akeem has been building a lot of momentum in Canada with his great songs, engaging shows, and use of technology to expand his artistic vision. Speaking of technology, Akeem is using MayFly products live and in the studio including the JellyFish reverb, the Flat Earth compressor, the LeCanard envelope filter, the Goddess dual chorus, and a new, yet to be announced, top secret Mayfly pedal he’s had a hand in creating.
“Mayfly are making some of the nicest boutique pedals in the music industry!” says Akeem Oh. “Many of their pedals are made with the audiophile in mind. Mayfly, who also produce quality Hi-Fi equipment, have been making quality products from the very beginning. Having been raised on vintage Hi-Fi; and having an analog and audiophile background, I’m happy to have these with me in the studio and on stage. They have helped with my creative process in many ways and I am thrilled to be part of the Mayfly family!”
