Mad Agnes at Meeting House Presents
Back from a ten-year lunch break, Mad Agnes has reunited to bring you the intricate harmonies and compelling songwriting that have always been their signature. Margo Hennebach, Adrienne Jones and Mark Saunders have been singing and playing together since there were dinosaurs, performing across the U.S. and overseas. While dodging labels and mixing styles (Folk, classical or Celtic? Soaring vocals, incisive lyrics or giggly repartee?), the genre-bending trio has won hearts on two continents, and individually and collectively amassed a body of work which comprises 13 CDs and a concert DVD.
Though each member is a multi-instrumentalist, this iteration sees them pared down with fewer instruments and only one microphone, around which they form and re-form, early-radio style. This allows them to be more playful and more connected, bringing you guitars, mandolin, percussion, keyboard, and three-part harmonies as tight as jeans from the dryer (Rob Weir, The Advocate).
Mad Agnes CD #6 is in progress, with new songs, new joy, and new little instruments! Look for it, and them, in 2022 at a venue near you.
As one presenter once introduced them, Together, the three of them make a great couple.
Mad Agnes are smart musicians, smart enough to leave audiences wanting more. In 2011, after releasing their last studio CD, hush, they stopped touring in order to remember what it was like to have a home, plant a garden, and take care of their animals. In 2019, they got a little itchy, and began to do a few shows in New England. COVID delayed their return to presenting live music, but it has also served to solidify their commitment to each other and the music they make together.
They are now venturing farther from home to play for long-time fans and are excited to be creating new ones as well. Lots of new music is on the way. Stay tuned
Multi-instrumentalists all, Hennebach is classically trained in piano, Jones is self-taught on guitar and bass, and Saunders adds color with a vintage mandolin and subtle electronic processing on his guitar. The sound can be full as a concert hall or delicate as three voices singing a cappella.
Harmony-driven performance of contemporary singer-songwriter material influenced by classical, Celtic, folk/rock, PDQ Bach, and a touch of street theater. Their lyrics, vocal intricacies and instrument prowess are unforgettable.
