Testimonials
“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.”
Linda J. Morris – Dirty Linen
“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.”
Simon Nicol – Fairport Convention – Chipping Norton ’07
“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!”
Marrianne Jackson – Director, Forksville Folk Festival, PA
“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.”
Robert A. Lindquist – Singer Magazine
“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.”
Matt Mielnick – Promoter, The Mainstay, Rock Hall, MD
“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.”
Rich Warren – SingOut! Magazine
“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.”
Graham Searle -Folk on the Moor, Devon, UK
“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.”
Richard Walton – Stone Soup Coffeehouse
“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.”
Nicky Rossiter – Rambles Magazine
