about

We met in our college choirs and became friends, musical collaborators, and life partners. 

Pet Names is a Maryland-based folk rock duo putting our fresh spin on a classic sound.

Camila (guitar) and Maggie (bass) bring rich vocal harmonies and lively instrumentals to original songs and inventive covers. We draw inspiration across decades and genres, especially from our queer and women predecessors in music. 

Our debut EP - Hey Hi Hello - is out now on all streaming platforms! We wrote, recorded, and produced it ourselves.

We're really excited about our debut EP, Hey Hi Hello.

Ever since we wrote the first song in the summer of 2020, the record has gone through so many changes, and so have we.

We're excited to share our sound with you!

Maggie (↑) is a snack fiend from Silver Spring, MD. She's most at peace while car camping or sitting on a porch with nothing to do.

Camila (↓) can't make up her mind about what instrument to play. She's lived up and down the east coast and enjoys the smell of early summer mornings.
