The Mad Maggies

The Mad Maggies are several crazy musicians from the San Francisco Bay Area who careen across the musical map whipping up dance-inducing tunes in a startling array of styles -- celtic, ska, polka, klezmer, cajun/zydeco, surf, cabaret and more. It’s roots driven, rowdy fusion folk -- upbeat enough to keep an all-ages crowd happy, intense and energetic enough to rock a nightclub. Composer/singer/accordionist, Maggie Martin formed this corky ensemble in 2004. Background M.
