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. Their fifth original CD, "Likely Story – An Eclectic Collection of Songs for the Soul," charted No. 10/No. 16 Feb/Mar 2024 on FAI FOLK CHART TOP ALBUMS OF THE MONTH.
Their current iteration sees them using only one microphone, around which they form and re-form, early-radio style. This encourages more playfulness and connection, as they transport and tickle audiences with robust harmonies, incisive songwriting and well crafted instrumentation, using guitars, mandolin, percussion, an inventive keyboard, and three-part harmonies as tight as jeans from the dryer.
Mad Agnes continues to play for long-time fans and they’re excited to be creating new ones as well. In short, they exemplify three voices, one soul, and 40 years of harmony and mayhem.
