About
Zaggie is a vibrant songwriter/composer duo best described as a storybook come to life. Their lively award-winning compositions pair Zach's cheeky character songs with Maggie's whimsical instrumentals, crafting a warm, intelligent simplicity they refer to as “Humorist Folk”. Their instrumental mastery honed by years as first-call Nashville session musicians means their performances are packed with a high wire act of musical flavors that adorn clever, imaginative stories.
Quotes
“The music of Zach & Maggie is at once playful, captivating, and stealthily intelligent, drawing on the sounds of dusty accordions, fiddles, and mandolins in equal measure to traditional drums and bass in order to achieve endearing narrative songs. Once you start listening, you’ll find it hard to stop.”
- Drew Miller - The Rabbit Room
“...(their) single “Double Grave” is charmingly unnerving, telling the story of a man who waits on his widow to join him in their final resting place. Sweet? Maybe. Spooky? Definitely.”
- Jonny Therrien - The Bluegrass Situation
“…Maggie’s sweet, pensive “Robin” and Zach’s earnestly beautiful “Settle Down,” sounding like the best James Taylor song he never wrote. Taken in its entirety, The Elephant In the Room is a remarkably original collection that flirts with everything from Americana to pop music, that manages to be both goofy at times and earnest at others; a truly creative endeavor that begs for another listen as soon as it’s over.”
- John Moore - Americana Highways
