$THE IMAGINARIES \u2013 Springfield Arts Council\u2019s 2026 Summer Arts Festival$

We are THRILLED to welcome The Imaginaries to the Summer Arts Festival for the first time!
Maggie and Shane are born and raised, proud Oklahomans. Maggie is from the large city of Norman, and Shane is from the tiny, 700-person town of Verden. Both wield impressive solo
artist resumes with prime song placements, critically-acclaimed solo albums, acting appearances, and landmark live performances.
Shane and Maggie met when she opened for Shane. They fell in love, married in 2011, and, shortly after, moved to LA to pursue their solo careers. Though they each featured in each other’s bands as a backing musician, Maggie and Shane’s first official collaboration was the Christmas album, Hometown Christmas. Yet, what cemented their artistic union was an invitation to perform as a duo in Muscle Shoals, Alabama on Grammy-winning engineer John Cuniberti’s (Train, Aerosmith, PJ Harvey) YouTube program, “The OneMic Series.”Initially, the couple applied as solo artists, but John suggested Maggie and Shane perform as a duo.
Recording in Muscle Shoals became something of a sacred place for The Imaginaries. They have since tracked both of their albums there, working with the studio’s legendary session musicians, first and second generation Swampers, whose collective resume spans Aretha Franklin, Etta James, Paul Simon, Little Richard, Jason Isbell, Gregg Allman, Neil Young, John Paul White, The Secret Sisters, and Hank Williams Jr.
Admission-free event; donations are encouraged at intermission.
