Guests can expect a night of foot-stomping and heart-pounding music at CLUB PASSIM in Cambridge as Grammy-winners MARK AND MAGGIE O'CONNOR debut their new album, "Life After Life."
The latest release comes eight years after the band won a Grammy in 2017 for their work on "Coming Home" for Best Bluegrass Album of the Year.
The couple worked during the pandemic to make their Americana album, made up of primarily original vocal 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 yet in which they recorded primarily original songs and other popular songs reimagined, including their Dolly Parton-approved cover of her song "Wild Flowers."
The show will feature the couple's virtuoso violin, MARK's mandolin and guitar, and MAGGIE's beautiful vocals.
MARK AND MAGGIE O'CONNOR have existed in an uninterrupted musical collaboration since the day they met ten years ago, 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.
MARK O'CONNOR has won three Grammys and seven CMA awards, as well as several national fiddle, guitar, and mandolin champion titles.
In his distinguished career, his multiple Grammy-winning New Nashville Cats and recordings for Sony Classical with Yo-Yo Ma for "Appalachia Waltz" and "Appalachian Journey" sold a million CDs and gained O'CONNOR worldwide recognition as a leading proponent of a new American musical idiom.
Violinist, American fiddler, and singer MAGGIE O'CONNOR is a Grammy Award-winning musician with a unique background in traditional classical violin training and American musical styles.
MAGGIE O'CONNOR has appeared on multiple recordings, both singing and playing violin, including Zac Brown-produced singles “In My Blood” and “Casino.”
Tickets for the show are on-sale now at passim.org.
