The Imaginaries @ Firehouse Gastro Park - Grand Prairie, TX8 PM
The Imaginaries sophomore album, Fever, out August 22, is a salvation-after-struggle themed album, bursting with gritty blues-rock riffs, mesmerizing vocal harmonies, driving pop-rock tunes, heartfelt singer-songwriter ballads, delicious guitar tones, and dazzling solos. The 12-song collection boasts guitar-solo cameos from Vince Gill, Joe Bonamassa, and Ariel Posen. The Oklahoma-based husband-and-wife duo blends vocalist/guitarist Shane Henry’s blues-rock roots with vocalist/keyboardist Maggie McClure’s boldly vulnerable singer-songwriter sensibility. The results are a pop-Americana aesthetic that evokes Tom Petty, Fleetwood Mac, The Civil Wars, and Bonnie Raitt.
The Imaginaries have amassed 75-plus sync-licensing placements in film, television, and advertisements. The duo wrote and produced the soundtrack for the feature film, A Cowgirl's Song, which featured Maggie and Shane as co-stars. The couple had two songs featured in the Netflix movie, Mending The Line. The Imaginaries also had a track featured, and an on-camera cameo performance, in the biopic, Reagan, starring Dennis Quaid. Maggie and Shane appear in the upcoming film, The One, which will also feature a handful of their originals. Select live highlights include sharing stages with Judy Collins, John Waite, The Gatlin Brothers, and Sixpence None The Richer, and an invitation to open for the Brian Setzer Orchestra Christmas Tour before the pandemic.
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. Their artistic union was cemented in 2018 when Maggie and Shane were invited 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.” Since then, Muscle Shoals has become something of a sacred place for The Imaginaries, and they tracked both of their albums there with the studio’s legendary session musicians, The Swampers (1st and 2nd generation). Look for The Imaginaries on tour in 2025 and beyond.
