Album Notes

After an exciting St. Paddy's Day, multiple live shows including opening for the Karan Casey Band and Liz Carroll & John Doyle, Waking Maggie is currently recording their sophomore album. See the website for details.

Reviews:
[Waking Maggie is]..."thrilling audiences and continually pushing themselves to new musical heights. Their rhythms and melodies are contagious! I defy anyone to sit through one of their infectiously rollicking sets and not find their fingers twitching or toes tapping. They are consummate crowd-pleasers and joyous makers of music to make you want to dance."
-David Schmidt, independent film maker


"Take the very best of traditional folk music, played with the articulate emotion of those who understand and love the heart of that music, add a twist of the addition of non-traditional instruments, and this seamlessly blended concoction results in some of the best music around."
-Sonnett Shelline, Professional Vocalist


"Waking Maggie has a unique, energetic sound that allows the mind to time-travel back to a romantic age. These young musicians exude creativity from every pore."
-Peter Watts, R.R.R. Festival Director
