Special Note: We welcome Mad Agnes to The Packing House Stage! Their classic Folk sounds and unique harmonies will take us back to a place we remember in this debut performance. Join us for this special evening of original music by these outstanding musicians.
The genre-bending trio, MAD AGNES, delivers smart songwriting, passionate performances, and an ease with one another on stage that invites the audience into their world of human connection and spontaneous fun. They transport listeners with well crafted instrumentation, using guitars, mandolin, ukulele, piano, an inventive keyboard, and three-part harmonies as tight as jeans from the dryer.
Mad Agnes has won hearts on two continents with their signature intricate harmonies, compelling songwriting, and passionate delivery. The genre-bending trio—Margo Hennebach, Adrienne Jones and Mark Saunders—creates an exciting, inclusive performance, delivering new original songs, selections from their thirteen album catalog, story telling and impromptu vocal improv.
“A refreshing adventure for those who enjoy well-sung and well-written acoustic music. Margo Hennebach, Adrienne Jones and Mark Saunders cast an enticing spell. [They] manage to be smooth and edgy at the same time, a rare feat.” Rich Warren, Sing Our! Magazine

“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 A. Lindquist, Singer Magazine
In their current iteration, Mad Agnes uses primarily one microphone around which they form and re-form, early-radio style. Their ease with one another on stage invites the audience into their world of human connection and spontaneous fun. Well-crafted instrumentation – using guitars, mandolin, ukulele, piano, melodica, an inventive keyboard and three-part harmonies as tight as jeans from the dryer – enthralls audiences again and again. Mad Agnes is now recording their newest studio album, “Llikey Story”.
