Dancing in the Streets

Monday, May 30th, 2011 by madmags

This Thursday night
June 2
Downtown San Rafael Farmer’s Market
Court St. Plaza off 4th Street
6pm until about 9pm
FREE
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

Summer Shows

Monday, July 12th, 2010 by madmags

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

the Vibe

Shelley Champine creator of Marin Local Live has started producing live music dance shows on Fridays at this local venue. She describes it like so:

“The rest of the week it’s Club 101 but on Friday it’s The Vibe:
Live bands that make you wanna get up and move …”
— Shelley


SPECIAL NOTE: This also happens to be GDub’s and my eleventh wedding anniversary. We’ve actually been together 19 years, since February 1991. We decided to tie the knot several years later. Good excuse for another celebration of love ;-)
