Court St. Plaza off 4th Street

Kid-friendly
Out of Doors
We always have a good time at this casual, pleasant market.
There’s restaurants on the side of the courtyard where we play. Why not do some shopping and then swing by for a snack or beverage and listen to our tunes?
If your feet get happy, don’t feel shy. Start dancing in the streets!
Mad Ms Trivia:
We made our world debut as a band at this market on July 7, 2005
Catch us in the act on the plaza at 83 MacAllister Street in SF – 6PM-7PM
This is our last People in Plazas gig for this season.
As always, a special shout out to our city friends — love to see you at the show!
City Rats,
Spread the word. We’ll be at Embarcadero 3 between Gap and Ann Taylor facing Sacramento St. tomorrow at noon.
This is a People in Plaza gig and is a FREE out door concert. We play from 12-1PM.
The weather should be lovely!
Plenty of chances over the next few weeks to get crazy and dance like wild folk.
First up is our show tonight (7/15) starting at 6PM on the plaza off Fourth Street in San Rafael. We’ve been playing the San Rafael Downtown Farmer’s Market since 2005!
We have three People in Plazas gigs lined up. These are free and in the streets of SF — my favorite kind of gig. Also up in San Francisco is our first time at the Blackthorn Tavern, a cool neighborhood pub you’ll want to check out.
And we are very pleased to be back at the Cotati Accordion Festival. It’s the 20th annual. Wow!
So come out and enjoy the weather and yours madly. We love playing music for you!
Of course we’ll be playing some of the tunes from our new CD “Flashbacks – the Mad Maggies play vintage hits”.
yours in a mad, mad world,
Mags

Hope to see you at this free in house concert at Down Home Music in El Cerrito this Saturday afternoon from 3PM till 6PM.
Babes perfoming are Renée de la Prade, Nada Lewis, Big Lou, Salane C. Schultz, Marla Fibish, Sabra Daly and me with GDub.
Two of our tunes, “Pica Pica Polka” and “Musical Priest S” have been nominated in the Just Plain Folks Music Awards 2009.
Only 1/3 of 1% of the 560,000 submitted songs made it to nominee status. Wow! This is indeed an honor.
The tunes are from our 2nd CD, “Magdalena’s Revenge” released in 2007.
This award period was for material released before August 31st, 2008. It takes JPF some time to sort through the hundreds of thousands of entries. Thousands of judges — industry pros, peers, fans — go through the submissions.
In celebration we give to you for your listening pleasure these free mp3 downloads:
Musical Priest S – based on a traditional Celtic reel.
Pica Pica Polka – lazy border-style polka. Pica Pica is Latin for Magpie.
Enjoy!

“Luna Marie” & “Street Dog” from “Crazed and Enthused” were nominated by JPF in 2006 in the cabaret and cajun song categories respectively.
I’m looking forward to submitting “Skull &Magpies” for next year’s JPF Awards.
