“Divine MAGgees”
Divine Maggees are the most recent focus in the sights of the ArtFRONT talent searchlight, an obvious target in the hunt for musicianship that excels beyond the standard. Danielle Tibedo and Cregan Montague are a New England acoustic/electric duo currently based out of Asheville, NC playing violin & guitar or as a full ensemble with percussion and bass added. Their very distinctive vocal harmonies are making listeners I have played them for turn their heads and want to know immediately “who is that?” Roughly comparable to indigo girls & Aimee Mann in style, their voices and lush instrumentals set this team off with an identity of their own that once heard becomes the highly recognizable “divine Maggees sound.”
Both Danielle and Cregan are accomplished alumni of musical and performance arts from very early ages, training in institutes such as Berklee College of Music, Wellesley College and the artist development program at Westlake Audio in Los Angeles. The mature, melodic & soulful songwriting on their current full length CD “Love Me Like The Roses” puts them directly in line with the kind of radio format that serious music lovers are waiting for.
Below are my picks for radio play specifically for WUTC 88.1 Luckily this CD contains a large number of very good choices for your format. Each song I have chosen for You excels on all levels, and one song in particular “North Carolina,” the most “Americana” styled song on the disk couldn’t be any more highly targeted toward WUTC’s audience if The stationed had commissioned it specifically for itself. This is not to say these songs are in any way commercially contrived. Quite the opposite, it is the kind fresh, substantial and affecting music we are waiting to hear. I also believe that their appealing personas & biographies will help to inspire a lot of devoted fans really fast.
I have been communication with the divine Maggees in regards to bringing them to Chattanooga and the region for some performances and they are eager to come to town and play for us. I will be letting You and the rest of the community know all the details on their upcoming shows as soon as they are confirmed. In the meantime I’m sure You’ll enjoy getting the community primed for this next wave of highly talented, chill bump inducing vocal harmonies and lush instrumentals.
