Maud Crawford are celebrating 20 years with a headlining show at 9 p.m. Sept. 6 at George’s Majestic Lounge.
The country-folk-rock ensemble founded in 2004 has remained a cornerstone of the regional music scene, captivating audiences with their unique blend of country, folk and rock influences. With Ben Henley (vocals, rhythm guitar, harmonica), John Bohannon (vocals, lead guitar), Daniel Dupwe (bass guitar), Kyle Brown (rhythm and lead guitar), Matt Chambers (vocals, keyboards) and Mike Waggoner (vocals, percussion, drums) — the group has continued to evolve within their Southern Rock and country music traditions and have garnered a loyal following known as the Maud Squad.
The band’s debut studio album, “Wait for Me,” marked a significant milestone in their career. Recorded at Winterwood Studios in Eureka Springs, the album features 12 original tracks penned and arranged by the band and is available for streaming on all major platforms. They have also shared the stage with notable acts including Diamond Rio, John Anderson, Confederate Railroad, Pat Green, Jason Boland and the Stragglers, Casey Donahew, and Josh Abbott Band.
