CHECK IT OUT

The genre-bending trio, Mad Agnes, delivers smart songwriting, passionate performances, and an ease with one another on stage that invites the audience into their world of human connection and spontaneous fun. They transport listeners with well crafted instrumentation, using guitars, mandolin, ukulele, piano, an inventive keyboard, and three-part harmonies as tight as jeans from the dryer.

"Their music is at once intricate, precise, mesmerizing, whimsical, eclectically intellectual... but, above all, utterly human. With warmth and humor, they envelop the listeners, inviting them to share in the moment."

"When I first heard Mad Agnes I knew instantly these were special people with a special act. Musically, emotionally and spiritually they ticked all the right boxes. When I finally got to meet them, my suspicions were confirmed. They are lovely people making lovely music that reaches out and grabs you."

"Setting the standard high, Mad Agnes offers great harmonies, a sense of humor and a theatrical flair...a sure way to please your audience with a terrific show!"

It’s kinda folk music that has grown up – honest, lovely, sharp, uplifting, thoughtful, intelligent, silly at times. There’s almost a Celtic air about it at times, but that just comes to visit before changing into something else just as challenging, but just as effortless for these great musicians."

"With ethereal three-part harmonies, quirky lyrics, and superb guitar work...it all adds up to a flawless CD with a unique sound."

“[Magic Hour is] one of the best releases of 2003.”

“If you’ve been struggling to find a link back to that addictive sound of progressive/alternative folk groups like Steeleye Span, Fairport Convention and Renaissance, listen up...Mad Agnes recreates with authenticity many of the musical qualities that adored us to those aforementioned groups. It’s definitely magic.”

“A refreshing adventure for those who enjoy well-sung and well-written acoustic music. Margo Hennebach, Adrienne Jones and Mark Saunders cast an enticing spell. [They] manage to be smooth and edgy at the same time, a rare feat.”

"Mad Agnes is mad in only the most productive manner. This trio... has an impressive pedigree that works well in making this group one of the most exciting to emerge in recent years. They take folk to its limits with close harmony, witty lyrics and a vigorous performance."

“Mad Agnes blew me away… Adrienne and Margo are like twins, like the black and white twins. Like salt and pepper!”

“Their harmonies were extraordinary and tight, their attack was nothing less than fierce, their voices were wonderful and the instrumental work was terrific... precision that was never at the cost of passion. I'm not entirely sure it's folk music, but I do know it’s sensational.”

“Mad Agnes is a thoroughly entertaining trio. They dazzle with complex harmonies, and juggle guitars and keyboards in a fast-paced show... Encore!”

“ethereal harmonies, lovely melodies and achingly lovely tension between ancient and modern music”

"Dazzling harmonies, superb arrangements, terrific instrumental virtuosity, brilliant original songs and fine treatments of other material... there really aren't enough superlatives to describe one of the best evenings I've seen in the many years I have been involved in the Folk scene."

“...a beautiful piece of modern folk rock.”
