About Maggie
Born and raised in Richmond, VA, Antone has been hailed by several as a bold new voice on the rise in alternative country. Her cover of Tyler Childers’ “Lady May” won her instant attention, and Interpretations, a follow up collection of covers including Dolly Parton’s “Jolene,” John Prine’s “Spanish Pipe Dream” and more, was released in late 2022 to early acclaim.
A songwriter since the age of 16, Antone has made music her full-time job since leaving college in late 2021. She is determined to make music that connects with people and write songs that make audiences feel seen and heard, a quality she deeply admires in the artists that have so inspired her to choose this path. Antone’s first new music of 2024 “I Don’t Wanna Hear About It” followed a landmark year for the vocalist, songwriter and producer. Antone released a string of singles including the much lauded “Suburban Outlaw” and played shows to a fan-base across Nashville and beyond. Her recent single release “Johnny Moonshine” followed viral content on Instagram and TikTok with fans begging to hear the full version. More shows, tours and festivals are planned for 2024 with plans of more music to come.
