Artist description THIS BAND SHOULD COME WITH A WARNING: Don't listen to these songs unless you want great rock/pop songs stuck in your head for the next week! Gentle Maggie is one hell of a rock trio from the Baltimore area considered by many to be among the best songwriters in the Mid-Atlantic region. Despite their compact size, 'Gentle Maggie' offer a thick sound full of soul and angst, driven by thick guitar tones, passionate vocals, and hooky songs. Musically 'Gentle Maggie' draws from many influences, but sound entirely unique. Lyrically relatable and musically accessible, 'Gentle Maggie' have learned quickly how to make music accepted by critics and appealing to the masses. Each member of the band brings a different flavor to the music creating a new, yet familiar sound. Known to many as the Superman, lead singer & bass player Maynard is a star in the making. With a McCartney-esque bass style, a dynamic & soulful voice and a lyrical delivery rivaled by none, his presence on stage and in the studio guarantee emotion, exuberance and power. His good looks, ice blue eyes, and charismatic performance make him an exciting and diverse entertainer. If you were to dig through magazines looking for a picture of a rock guitar God, you'd be looking at a picture of Jimmie Cole. With the handsome appeal of the long-haired, leather clad rockers of years gone by, and his rock/blues guitar style, he is a man that demands to be seen and heard. Drawing influnce from all the six-string greats of the past, Jimmie's fretboard agilty provides him a voice all his own that must be witnessed to be fully understood. Drummer Matt Schwartz has been crucial to the songwriting skill of the band. With a flair for arranging songs and sets, Matt keeps the music exciting and interesting at the turn of every corner. With his influences from the best punk & ska bands, Matt's boyish charm and quick smile make him a favorite of the ladies in the audience. But don't let the smile fool you girls, he is a rock drummer extrodinaire who will make your heart throb. This is a band to look for in the rear view mirror, but look quickly, because they won't be behind you for long. They will pass you by at break neck speed before you can realize it!
