This is the shameless promotional section. Because we all have to pay bills. Thanks for shopping!

But hey, at least you can buy direct from the manufacturer with confidence, knowing that you are directly impacting the support of an independent musician. You're a modern-day Medici; a true patron of the arts.

Influences
Mortgage, hungry kids, medical bills...
oh, you mean musical influences?

It's sort of eclectic.

With influences from Art Rock to Chicago Blues, Motown to Mbaqanga and Folk to Funk with only an acoustic piano and guitar to write songs on, what's a girl to do?

Learn bass!


My sons gave me a beautiful Warwick Rock Bass for Mother's Day a few years ago. I'm the luckiest mom in the world!

Everything I Know About Bass I Learned From Andy Irvine.
And Jeff Berlin instructional videos. And James Jamerson came to me in a dream or two.

Check out my song "Waking Up" - it's bassed on a riff of Andy's.

   About maggie council

Organic, progressive Americana. Minimally processed.

No added antibiotics, steroids or click tracks. Maybe some hormones.

I have no real 'band bio' but I have been very fortunate that talented people are willing to work with my untrained self. Without their help, I'd still be playing in the basement all alone.

Among these are my former bandmates: mis hermanos Ray Villadonga (bass), George Harris (guitar/producer/engineer), and Danny DiPietra (drums) who is also the love of my life.

For "Not In The House" I am endebted to the patience and spectrum of musical talents of producer/arranger/engineer Rob Constable (that's Dr. Robert C. Constable, Jr. to you).

I've also had the mostly pleasure of recording on other people's work, such as Julian Koster, John Wesley, and Cold Joon.

So I'm fortunate and lucky and very grateful.

The Anti-Promotion

Somebody told me that if I'm going to make a website, I need to keep doing it. "Update, update, update!" Yawn. And someone else told me that I should be "promoting myself" more. So let's multitask:

You might be thinking, why should I listen to Maggie's music? While one side of me immediately responds "got me" with a wide-eyed shrug, the practical side says, well, she's shared stages with locally, nationally and internationally known artists like:

Acoustic Alchemy, Joan Armatrading, Steve Earle, John Hiatt, Steve Forbert, Hot Tuna, Robert Earl Keene, Jr., Ronnie Milsap, Maura O'Connell, The Band, Michelle Shocked, Al Stewart, the subdudes, John Wesley, Beanstalk, Joe Popp, My Little Trotsky, Ronny Elliot, Rebekah Pulley, Lorna Bracewelland Warren Zevon

Hey Funky Maggie!

I am very excited to announce that I am being featured in the new March issue of Bass Player Magazine.


BP Writer Jimmy Leslie interviewed me last Oct while I was on tour with On The One.

We discussed my approach to soloing and a resulting article is now being published in next months(March)issue.

I am very humbled and overcome with graditude for this honor.I am also quite full of excitement as it is, and has always been my passion to share my gifts with the aspiring bassists of the world young and old.Such a platform is truly a blessing and miracle, considering the enormous pool of outstanding bassists working towards the very same goals. In a very real way this sort of exposure pertaining to educational reach and otherwise, have been ongoing goals thoughout my 27 years of playing the bass.


I hope that all of you fellow bassists will find my concepts and approach of some use and enjoy trying them out. Thank You to all the staff members and administrators at Bass Player Magazine for standing behind me.


Blessings!!

Respectfully,Andy
