About Me

Warriors who deliberately attain total awareness are a sight to behold. that is the moment when they burn from within. The fire from within consumes them. And in full awareness they fuse themselves to the emanations of the UniVerse and glide into eternity. ....."Bonfire Madigan, AKA Madigan Shive, is one of my favorite musicians of all time. She clutches her cello like a life-raft, singing in gorgeous yelps and hums. It doesnt really matter if you like the kind of music Bonfire Madigan sings, because she does it so soulfully and gracefully, you cant help but stand there openmouthed, gawking at her vocals and cello." -- The Portland, OR. Mercury"...not for the faint of heart or weak of mind. Oh, and she plays a mean cello, too." --Village Voice
