The Raven Mavens Quartette is the brainchild of Wellington singer-songwriter Cindy Muggeridge, following her dream of forming an all-female band. The journey began in 2011 with the Raven Mavens duo, with Cindy on boogie and blues piano and Marian Carter adding soulful clarinet. The duo became a trio when they added Anje Glindemann on drums, with her sometimes light, sometimes rocking, but always solid feel. Then the trio became a quartet with the addition of multi-instrumental virtuoso Kate Marshall on accordion, flute and violin. Each of these women is a musician and a singer, worth hearing in her own right, but when they get together there is a unique and beautiful synergy.
To add to the magic of the musical lineup, Cindy has written a collection of original songs for the Quartette, featuring each band member in turn as the lead singer. Recording the songs was a natural step in refining the arrangements and on Saturday 27th February the band launches the Raven Mavens Quartette CD, live in concert, at the Wellington Bluegrass Society.
Expect this talented combination of women to dish up a variety of voices, instruments and styles, as they deliver Cindy’s engaging and provocative songs. They will also be throwing in some of their favourite covers, drawing from great divas including Bessie Smith, Katie Webster and Nina Simone. The mood will range from sensitive to burlesque, with a bit of storytelling and hilarity on the side.
