| Description |
Maggie Drennon (vocals, violin, bass) never sang in public until after high school, when she figured out her singing could knock people over. She met Mary Maddux and formed Ceili's Muse in 1989, which became the most popular all-female traditional act in circuits across Texas and the Midwest. The Muse was so overwhelmed with cult following it continued to be nominated in the Houston Press Awards for three years after the band no longer existed. She toured Ireland with reknowned Furey Brothers, who remain her greatest Irish music influence. After Ceili's Muse ended she founded the Celtic rock band SixMileBridge in 1997. The band was a cornerstone of modern Celtic Rock from Milwaukee to Virginia Beach, touring aggressively for four years and rocking festivals nationwide.
She owns Loose Goose Productions, a label, distributor and production house for Celtic music. She has conquered workaholism by working harder. |

The Washer Well Wenches
|
|
|
The Washer Well Wenches are a (mostly) female comedy stage act centered around the village washing well. At this central gathering places in town, the wenches get to hear about everything that is going on. Occasionally the rogue John-Paul (who is not a wench) will show up to check on the girls, but usually they are getting into trouble just fine without his help.

Corsairs

|
|
Just a bunch of fellows from the Dallas/Ft. Worth, Texas area that sings a cappella.
We spend our time running around the country honing our harmony skills singing nautical songs,
sea shanteys, traditional, folk and Irish tunes.
