Album Notes

2006 Independent Music Award Best Album - Americana

Maura Fogarty's second solo album Every Now And Then was released July 25th, 2003.
.
In anticipation of another great record, Maura's first record "color of my heart" was awarded new female DISCovery winner by the famed and respected Nashville critic, Bob Oermann of Music Row Magazine.
Track #2, Under My Skin was also featured on the 100th episode of Dawson's Creek.
Going to a more roots based - acoustic sound, Fogarty and her producing and writing partner John Bertsche rounded up Nashville players, Bryan Sutton, John Gardner, Larry Franklin, John Mock, John and Bruce Bouton who by the way co-produced the Nashville sessions, and began making the record.
The recording ended back here in New York with sessions from the amazing Joannie Madden, and All-Ireland uillean piper Matty Connolly.
Also being one of the featured musicians on the record, Maura plays acoustic and electric rythym guitar, backpacker and the accordian.
As well as the material that Maura and Bertsche co- wrote, collaborations include original songs by Fogarty and #1 country producer, songwriter and grammy award winning instrumentalist, Randy Scruggs and #1 country songwriter Sonny Tillis, both the sons of the Nashville legends, Earl Scruggs and Mel Tillis.
Every Now and Then also contains two original songs which included the help of Texan-born, New York based songwriter Christine Love.
Taking 11 months to complete this record, promoting the record is where the focus lands. Heading into the fall, Fogarty will be putting a band together for shows in New York and Nashville, and will begin doing solo vocal and acoustic guitar radio promotion in the U.S. as well as in Ireland and Great Britain.
Shortly after arriving in Nashville, Maura was very quickly signed to a production and publishing deal with Randy Scruggs Music. After spending a few years with Scruggs, legendary producer and publisher Harold Shedd signed her on. Maura currently is a writer for Matt Lindsey Music in Nashville.
