Max Godfrey & Maggie Hall

Max Godfrey and Maggie Hall hit it off at the Atlanta Contra Dance in 2012 and began playing old-time tunes at farmers markets around Atlanta, often with Miss Moonshine on banjo! Since then, they’ve been fixtures of the Atlanta music scene, known for their wild, energetic style and tight vocal harmonies. Max teaches music at Guitar Shed and The Frank Hamilton School, where he helps teach the kids’ program with Jenna Mobley and TJ Odom. He also organizes a semi-monthly square dance in Cabbagetown and twice-monthly old-time jams at The Lost Druid. When she’s not playing guitar, Maggie can be found traipsing through the forest, gathering inspiration and materials for her artwork and handicrafts. Her current focus is watercolor painting, broom making, basket weaving, and needle felting.
