Fiddler’s Green February 15, 2025
MAX AND MAGGIE AND FRIENDS & JEFF TALMADGE
MAX AND MAGGIE AND FRIENDS
Max and Maggie have been fixtures of the Atlanta roots music scene for over 10 years, playing for dances and festivals around Georgia and beyond.
They began performing together at the Grant Park Farmers Market, and frequently team up with other local players. This performance will include bassist/fiddler Jenna Mobley and singer/guitarist Jeremy Aggers.
Featuring foot-stomping old-time Appalachian music, soulful harmonies and artful renditions of folk standards from the mountains, piedmont, and deep south, Max and Maggie and Friends perform everything from wild fiddle tunes to low-down country blues, uplifting spirituals and haunting mountain ballads.
Max and Jenna also co-teach the Sunday afternoon kids’ music program at the Frank Hamilton School in Decatur.
JEFF TALMADGE
“A very talented songwriter and guitar player, blessed with an easy-listening voice that works perfectly for his laid-back, modern folk songs.”—Rich Bayles, Rock ‘N’ Reel
Born in Uvalde, Texas, about 70 miles from the Mexican border, Jeff grew up in small Texas towns like Crystal City, Wharton, Boling and Big Spring. He is known for his story-telling, finger-picking style.
His multiple CDs, including Sparrow (2024), have received outstanding reviews, with comparisons to Lyle Lovett, Townes van Zandt, Lucinda Williams, and Mickey Newberry. Music critic Geoff Himes said, “All that musical talent is subordinated to the stories that Talmadge has to tell…He sings about the people he encounters, homeless men, street musicians, barflies, ex-loves, new lovers, new parents, divorcing couples and returning soldiers.”
In 2025, we are planning to stream the Fiddler’s Green Coffeehouse shows on Facebook Live.
