The Mad Maggies are some crazy musicians from the San Francisco Bay Area who play world-inspired, roots-driven rowdy folk fusion. Call it Celtic Ska with a touch of hot pepper and a swig of slivovitz -- we kick up some dust.
"There was not a moment when the dance floor was not packed, even long after the beer was gone. Yes, you guys rock." -- Rod De Witt, Andersen Valley Brewing Co.
"The Best Band Ever" -- Howard Dillon, Bolinas Hearsay News.
"The Mad Maggies...hit it home...leaving the audience begging for an encore."
-- Golden Gate [X]Press

Our Mystic Theater show with Amber Lee and Vagabond Opera rocked, honestly. Three excellent acts, enthusiastic audience, great old venue with top notch sound system and super dance floor. Yep, it was fun.
Playing at Sarah's Vineyard, last Saturday night, June 6th was a lovely full moon affair. Perfect weather, nice crowd, fantastic wine, dellicious grilled meat. We played a nice 90 minute set out of doors overlooking the grapevines. The Porch Flies and the Adrian Gormley Ensemble also played.
This beautiful winery is definitely worth a visit whenever you're near Gilroy. Be sure and play a game of Bocce Ball on their regulation sized courts while you're there.
We braved the early hours of the morning and 90 plus degree weather at the Marin Farmer's Market, May 17 and managed to pull off three rousing sets. Yes, it was odd for 7 musicians to play rowdy dance music between a knife sharpening stand and a massage booth.
Graeser Winery on Saturday 5/2 was another very pleasant gig. We played three sets in their newly renovated tasting room for visiting wine lovers, sipped delicious wine between sets and communed with the winery mascots, two BIG dogs named Jack and Jill.
Playing music for a music-loving, pro-beer crowd at the Speisekammer Resturant's 3rd annual Spring Fest in Alameda on April 26 was a pleasure. There were Bavarian dancers, beer drinking contests, good food and plenty of tunes. Eins, zwei, drei g'suffa!
The SF St. Pat's Festival on 3/14 at the civic center was a blast! Hundreds of green-bedecked revelers. We stirred up a rousing, singing, dancing crowd. See Sean Pete's photos, Rhian's photos and read more.
