Maggie Council is an award-winning self-taught over-hyphenating singer-songwriter and independent recording artist.  Yada, yada.

Maggie comes up with progressive acoustic Americana on guitar, bass and piano, and performs her songs with an earthy, dynamic tenor-to-soprano vocal.

Whether they're jerking tears or celebrating life, Maggie's songs tend to illustrate how humans are really more alike than different: 

It is all about the groove.

Maggie has played bills with a diverse array of pop, blues, folk and rock artists from Acoustic Alchemy and Joan Armatrading to Ronnie Milsap and Matt 'Guitar" Murphy to Michelle Shocked and Al Stewart to Townes van Zandt and Warren Zevon.  

Not to mention Hot Tuna, Guy Clark, The Band, Steve Earle, Steve Forbert, Robert Earl Keene, Jr. and Chris Smither.

Her original music has graced airwaves on four continents and American Indian Satellite Radio, charted in ten of fifteen U.S. test markets, and been downloaded in over 30 countries.

Her recordings have featured the talents of Rob Constable, George Harris, Ray Villadonga, Dave Rogers, Danny DiPietra, Kenny Suarez, Andy Irvine, Lowell Adams, Tracy LaBarbera, Jim Beckwith, Larry Sapienza and more. 

She had the good forture to play regionally for nearly a decade with Ray, Danny and George.
as Maggie y Los Basureros de Ybor, or Maggie and the Trashmen of Ybor.

Born and raised in the Chicagoland area, Maggie studied History and developed a soft spot for Anthropology when she should have been studying music.  She now makes her home with her husband and their kids in Florida, where there are palm trees in the backyard.
