About Me

The Mad Maggies are some crazy musicians from the San Francisco Bay Area who play world-inspired, roots-driven fusion. Call it Celtic Ska with a touch of hot pepper and a swig of slivovitz -- we kick up some dust.

News from the front:

The new album, "Skull & Magpies", is here!! We have copies in stock and available through our new and improved web store .

For some free MP3 downloads and to find out more about the band click on the CD covers below:
Our tune " Sleepy Maggie " (free download) was featured in the pilot of the dramatic TV series " The Black Donnellys ." The pilot , directed by Paul Haggis, premiered on NBC in the US and Canada on 2/26/2007. Unfortunately, the show was cancelled before finishing out it's 13 episode run because of "bad" ratings. Too bad, because it's actually a very smart story. "Smart story," aye, there's the rub!
Here's the clip with our tune from the pilot:
And there's always a couple of free MP3 downloads on the web site:
