Front man, string wizard and song smith EJ Ouellette takes listeners on a wild ride every time he performs with his band EJ Ouellette & Crazy Maggy, the Nor’east’s Premiere Regional Roots Band.
A guitar journeyman/banjo/mandolin and fiddle master demonstrates creativity and passion with original songs and Nor’east fiddle-driven tunes. Our main mission is to bring JOY to our audiences.
Ouellette, a recently Grammy® Nominated Song Producer/Featured Artist/Engineer in the 2022 Grammy® Awards, easily jumps genres, merging American Roots, Celtic/Acadian/Upper Appalachian fiddle tunes and songs in a contemporary fashion.
It’s the sweet sounds of The Honey Bees Band! Equal parts 30’s era Jazz, Western swing, Folk-Rock and Americana, the Bees mix it all up with flair, fun and a hint of mischief. Standards and favorites are equally served up with the original songs of chanteuse Mary Fagan, who also pollinates the rhythm with acoustic guitar or piano. Guitarist Chris O’Neill colors the nectar with sassy chording on a hollow-body jazz box and nimble runs on the Fender Telecaster. Holding it down low on the “big” bass, Jock Irvine keeps it cool and swinging while enhancing the mix with casual back up vocals. Journeyman drummer Jared Steer pops and locks the grooves while Greg Mostovoy’s delicious improvisations on the Saxophone and Flute float through the air. It all blends together like the honey tastes; smooth, sweet and satisfying.
