The Mad Maggies are some crazy musicians from the San Francisco Bay Area who play world-inspired, roots-driven fusion. Make that European-style Americana. Or try Ska-Polka, Klez-Celtica, Gypsy-Surf.
"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.

Our New CD, "Skull & Magpies" has arrived!
12 new tunes of the high seas, piratical riff-raff, love and adventures. Our star whistle player, Rhian describes our sound on this one as "The Specials duking it out with the Chieftains".
JJ Golden did his sound mastering magic. Fine artist and illustrator, Dale Horstman created spectacular images for the cover and disc. The very talented Jonathan Segel (Camper Van Beethoven, Chaos Butterfly) helped with the mix down at Wally's. This is our third CD recorded, engineered and mixed at Wally Sound because, besides being a pleasure to work with, he gives excellent sound. We went analog again -- 2 inch tape to 1/4 inch to digital master.

POST SHOW NOTES
Longest Night of the Year at Smiley's and Bertha's Debut. On December 20th yours madly filled the night with music. Our bassist, Brian Rourke brought Bertha out to play for the first time, Bertha being his 5-string double-bass made of beautiful aged Canadian maple. The audience included special guests, Kate & Ginschi who came all the way from the south of Germany to hear us. Nichelle took some fab fotos.
Big moon and grape vines. Our evening 10/11 at Sarah's Vineyard was a very pleasant affair. Delicious wine and food, relaxed happy guests and gracious host, Tim Slater. We recommend their pinot! Our friend, Kate took some cool photos.
STARBOARD
That's yours madly in the KPIG studio in SF. The lovely barque is the Picton Castle.
