MARYLAND: MAGGIE ROSE WITH THE WALKING STICKS
Maggie Rose with The Walking Sticks perform at BETHESDA BLUES & JAZZ SUPPER CLUB (7719 Wisconsin Avenue, Bethesda, MD - 240-330-4500) on Sunday, March 9th at 7:30 pm. Since the release of her debut album, CUT TO IMPRESS, dynamic vocalist Maggie Rose has garnered national attention from media and fans alike. Produced by Blake Chancey and James Stroud, the album features the breakthrough Top 30 hits "I Ain't Your Mama" and "Better." The project highlights Maggie's songwriting prowess on nearly half of the tracks. She recently opened for Gary Allan and Sheryl Crow on the FREE & EASY Tour. The Potomac, Maryland native is currently getting ready for the release of her next single from CUT TO IMPRESS, "Looking Back Now." The Walking Sticks is the outfit of twin brothers Max and Spencer Ernst and their soulful beyond her years lead singer Chelsea Lee. The group from Silver Spring Md took off in 2011 as a vehicle for deep roots grooves and harmony but the Sticks have recently taken a few leaps into much different territory. After touring the more meditative and heavily acoustic debut album World So Bright, the twins began accumulating an arsenal of old synthesizers from around town. More importantly, they signed on their long time friend and collaborator Chelsea Lee in 2012. Tickets are $15-$30.copyright 2014 - See cabaret listings from all over the world at CABARET HOTLINE ONLINE
