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 Celtic, folk, and vocal improv into an exciting, inclusive performance, showcasing a body of individual and collective work comprising 13 albums and a concert DVD.

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” (Rob Weir, The Advocate). With a new original studio album in progress, Mad Agnes is now venturing farther from home to play for long-time fans and they’re excited to be creating new ones as well.

Mad Agnes has performed internationally at listening rooms and festivals, including The Kerrville Folk Festival (TX), Mountain Stage New Songs Festival (WV), The Birchmere (VA), The Forksville Folk Festival, The Sellersville Theatre, Bethlehem Musikfest and Godfrey Daniels (PA), The Bitter End and the Towne Crier (NY), Old Settlers Inn (KS), WFMT’s Live Stage (IL), Cedarburg Cultural Center (WI), Sunrise Civic Center Theater (FL), University of Hartford and Cheney Hall (CT), The Ark (MI), and First nights Morristown (NJ), Northampton (MA), Worcester (MA), Cropredy Festival (England), Swanage Folk Festival (England) and Fylde Folk Festival (England), at private events and a gaggle of house concerts.

“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 Linquist, Singer 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." Folk on the Moor, Devon, UK
