Up and Up-and-coming Pop and Rock singer Ava Maybee just released her debut EP, "Orange Drive." We caught her fiery opening slot on Saturday of BottleRock Napa 2025, and she killed it, followed by a quick interview with Keefy! Even though she comes from Rock royalty 9her father is Chad Smith of the Red Hot Chili Peppers, and she was on American Idol, she is a totally DIY artist. In addition to her new release and BottleRock Napa, she is undertaking her debut tour and will also appear at Summerfest and Warped Tour this summer!
