The Mad Maggies and Go Van Gogh
Two Septets, Two rounds each

Come cheer us on. This is our third match with our pals, GVG. Training has been intense. Tensions are high. The competition will be fiercely fun.

Musician Ed Ivey opened this hip beer and wine lounge in 2010 so it is fairly new and quickly gaining a very good rep. Check out the positive Yelp reviews to give you an idea of how cool 50 Mason Social House is.

Trivia
Ed and I played together years ago in Polkacide. In fact when I auditioned for that band it was at a place that Ed shared with trumpeter, John Lieb.

At the Blackthorn Tavern gig last Saturday night someone sat and drew our tubist, Johny Blood in good detail and then, without a word, left the cocktail napkin line drawing on the table for him to find afterwards.

Oh those crazy artistic types …

Photographer Sean Pete (itsnotart.com) scouted the location — the Sutro Baths ruins on the coast of San Francisco — and somehow got us to behave for these fun shots. It was a fantastic, rare sunny day at the beach at a fascinating historic location.

Take a look.

While you’re looking at our gallery check out some other great photos Sean took of us at Studio E in Sebastopol.

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
