About the event
A Southside native whose musical journey began with a $25 guitar from Old Town, Dana Maragos is a formidable songwriter whose music has been hailed as "quite marvelous" and "worth exploring" by roots music critics across the globe. Her latest work, Unimaginable Things, is a vivid collection of tales inspired by triumph and reflection, showcasing her evolution into a premier Americana artist. Whether she’s channeling the grit of Lou Reed or the grace of a Sunday choir, Dana’s ability to connect with an audience through atmospheric folk and prodigious guitar arrangements is undeniable.
On Tuesday, March 24th, she takes the stage at the Friendly Music Community for an intimate set of "understated and atmospheric" folk. The performance invites you into a "web of truthfulness" that highlights her expressive voice and perceptive, deeply personal lyrics. This is a rare chance to experience a local favorite whose approach and perspective are entirely her own—an artist whose work feels both universal and an "undiscovered gem" all at once.
