Maggie Koerner at the Raccoon Motel -- October 25.
Sunday, October 25, 6 p.m.
Raccoon Motel, 315 East Second Street, Davenport IA
Hailed by Antigravity magazine for her "dynamic, layered vocals" and "raw storytelling," alternative folk and rock singer/songwriter Maggie Koerner headlines an October 25 concert at Davenport's Raccoon Motel in support of her latest album Upstate, a work in which, Antigravity continued, "she pays an almost haunting homage to her history – taking us through memories and moments in time, embracing emotion, and whispering reminders of home."
As stated at MaggieKoerner.com, the artist is "a singer, songwriter & actress from New Orleans by way of Shreveport, Louisiana. Right after getting her bachelor’s degree in psychology from LSUS, Maggie caught the attention of Brady Blade who produced her debut album, Quarter Life (2011). Shortly after, Koerner moved to New Orleans and wrote, produced, and recorded her sophomore album, Neutral Ground (2013). In 2014, Koerner had the opportunity to take over as the front-woman for Galactic, gaining international attention for her fiery performances and commanding presence touring alongside Widespread Panic, Charles Bradley and Dr. John. Her songwriting and vocals are featured on Galactic’s albums Carnivale Electricos (2012) and Into the Deep (2015), both of which feature singles she co-wrote with David Shaw, 'Hey Na Na' and 'Dolla Diva.'
“In 2015, Koerner left Galactic to focus on her music again which has included a string of festival performances including New Orleans Jazz and Heritage Festival, Austin City Limits, and Pemberton Music Festival. Maggie has gone on tours opening up for The Revivalists, Band of Horses, Marcus King, The Head and the Heart, Shakey Graves, Tank and the Bangas, Warren Haynes, Gov’t Mule, and more. As her momentum continued to grow, Koerner joined Fink collaborate on her searing EP Dig Down Deep (2016). In 2019 and 2020, a series of singles were released including the searing 'If I Die,' which was featured in ABC’s Grey’s Anatomy. Koerner’s LP The Bartholomew Songs (2022) was produced by Rob Kirwan and released independently. In October 2022, Maggie spent a month in Louisville, Kentucky filming and starring in the independent film, My Country Heart (2024). In 2023, Maggie co-wrote two songs (“Sunday Lover” and “Your Apology”) with Jessica Simpson on her recent albums Nashville Canyon EP, Parts. 1 and 2.”
