Music - Montréal, Québec, Canada
The Mad Maggies are musicians from Montreal, Quebec and the San Francisco Bay Area, California who play roots-driven, world rock, rowdy folk fusion with a dash of hot pepper and a swig of slivovitz -- they kick up some dust. Composer/singer/accordionist, Maggie Martin formed the ensemble in 2004. Ever since they have been careening 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. \\The Mad Maggies' music is upbeat enough to keep an all-ages crowd happy, intense and energetic enough to rock a nightclub.They've garnered radio play around the world, and even caught the ears of movie director Paul Haggis who used their "Sleepy Maggie" to underscore an entire scene in the TV pilot of 'The Black Donneley's' which aired internationally. \\\M. Martin's credits include writing music and directing for 'Mixed Company,' a performing arts ensemble active for five years in the SF Bay Area and thirteen years as accordionist/vocalist with Polkacide, San Francisco's one and only punk polka band.
