“Remember the name, Agona Hardison. Her new album is filled with beguiling melodies and a smoothly affecting voice that you don’t soon forget. There’s also a lyrical depth and consciousness that suggests she will be around a while.” Steve Morse – The Boston Globe

Recent Highlights
The past few months I have had the pleasure to sing and perform with “The Maverick Street Band”, a Stellar 9-piece Country/Rock band. We performed a 2 hour show at the Dukakis Auditorium for a 1,ooo person audience to Benefit “Our Wounded Soldiers” troops hit in Afghanistan.

I recently had a great in-studio interview, talking about my music with Jay Fidanza on his morning show on WHAI 98.3 fm. This interview and promo-spot was to advertise the highly anticipated and successful “Mohawk Music Alumni Concert” in March. I was happy to be asked back to sing to help benefit the current music program at the high school I graduated. It was a pleasure to give back to the school that did so much for me when I was younger.

At the Bull Run
I also recently had the thrill of opening and sharing the stage with Superstar, John Waite www.johnwaite.com as well as the phenomenal Dana Fuchs www.danafuchs.com at the Bull Run Concert hall. Both shows drew a full house of 300 people! Great rock shows. Look for us to perform at the Bull Run again soon. www.bullrunrestaurant.com
