Based in Madison, WI, the award-winning husband and wife duo of Mary Gaines (cello, guitar, bass, vocals) and Chris Wagoner (violin, mandolins, lapsteel, ukulele, guitar, accordion, vocals) play an eclectic mix of Americana—original and classic tunes ranging from folk to jazz, bluegrass to blues, honky-tonk and a little singer-songwriter on the side, with the space in-between tunes punctuated by folk-style storytelling and light-hearted riffing with the audience.

“Multi-instrumentalist Chris Wagoner and his wife Mary Gaines are masters of string swing music--equal parts Hawaiian luau and Parisian wedding party. The love they bring to their music is as apparent as the precision with which they make it.”

-Andy Moore, producer of Wisconsin Public Television’s “30-Minute Music Hour”
