A Joyful, Uplifting Musical Journey
Mark and Maggie have collaborated musically since the day they met in 2014. As they were perfecting the finer points of Mark’s American Classical violin duos, it got so good that they decided to get married. The next stage of their musical journey turned into a larger family collaboration for which they each took home a Grammy for playing bluegrass in the O’Connor Band. They turned another musical corner during COVID quarantine.
With a year-and-a-half of isolation from touring, they dedicated their days and nights towards further musical growth together. The couple workshopped new songs during seventy weekly online concerts from home: Mondays with Mark and Maggie. A group of dedicated viewers watched as they made their musical experiments, some fans tuning in for all of them.
What came out of this exploration is the Americana album, “Life After Life,” featuring mostly original songs they sing together, other popular songs reimagined, and all of them supported by a small universe of acoustic instruments they’ve brushed up on in the time off the road. The album reveals the pair’s most sincere and deeply personal work. The album reached Billboard’s Top 10 on two charts—Bluegrass at #2 and Classical Crossover at #7.
With touring back in full swing, this engaging couple brings their riveting and uplifting show to TFAC.
