EJ & Crazy Maggy. And maybe kinda sorta like Searson, Nickel Creek, Enter the Haggis, Dave Matthews...
Led by EJ Ouellette on fiddle, guitars, mandolin and vocals, Crazy Maggy is New England's own fiddle-driven rock band. Maggy rocks the roots of traditional fiddle music by blending ancient melodies with new arrangements, contemporary lyrics, acoustic/electric guitars & sax, and a myriad of dance grooves. The result is a mesmerizing sound which seduces audiences with its energy and invention. Their tribal jams, known as Maggy moments, define their RAD/TRAD style: Radical Traditional.
Maggy music is showcased on the band's first CD, "Rock the Bow 5.0," which was released in 2007.
After a performance in Cambridge, Steve Morse of the Boston Globe wrote, "Ouellette is a Celtic fiddle master. The band plays with precision and passion."
Music reviewer Bruce Menin said, "The combination of fiddle and sax is a revelation and a dream."
Daniel Gewertz of the Boston Herald exclaimed, "EJ Ouellette & Crazy Maggy was a delightful electric fusion surprise. Fiddle and sax lead a fearless band!"
EJ, thanks for letting me "sit in" last night with you and Crazy Maggy. You guys are such a great band. Anyone who hasn't experienced your show, does not know what they are missing. People, you need to get up to Red Hook, wonderful spirits and food, a great venue for music lovers, cool atmosphere, and the best band in New England.
Hey Guys, I wont be there tonight, out of commission for awhile, I'll explain later. But I really hope to see you guys soon, Have a great time tonight, sorry I can't be there.
