Coming on June 14: Mad Agnes!
Mad Agnes, Stuart Markus likes to say, is what happens when 3 incredibly creative, talented, classically trained musicians devote themselves to folk music. It ain’t your typical 3-chord songs!
Mad Agnes has won hearts on two continents with their signature intricate harmonies and compelling songwriting. The genre-bending trio—Margo Hennebach, Adrienne Jones and Mark Saunders—weaves contemporary folk with a nod to Celtic, an element of vocal improv and top-notch arrangements into an exciting, inclusive performance.
Lately using only one microphone, early-radio style, they transport and tickle audiences using guitars, mandolin, percussion, an inventive keyboard and three-part harmonies as tight as jeans from the dryer.
Their 5th and most recent album, Likely Story – An Eclectic Collection of Songs for the Soul, hit the Top-10 on the Folk Alliance International Radio Chart this past February. Check out their website here.
Doors will open at 7 p.m. An open mic will begin at 7:30 (signup starts at 7), and the concert proper will begin at 8:30. Suggested donation is $25 – CASH OR CHECK (MADE OUT TO “OUR TIMES COFFEEHOUSE”) ONLY.
