Complete Bio

BLUE MAGGIE was formed in 2006, as a duet, with Richard Patrick on upright bass and Cheryl Patrick on rhythm mandolin.  In the first year, they were asked to perform at Poppy Mountain Bluegrass Festival in Moorhead, Kentucky.  Blue Maggie immediately became known for their simple, unique sound and back-porch mountain melodies, echoing the early mountain strains of Bluegrass music in the Mountain State, in the early years of bluegrass.

   Stephenson Page joined the group in 2007, on rhythm and lead guitar, and Blue Maggie released their first CD---“Heart for the Hills”, which was immediately picked up for national and international radio play.  Many of the songs on “Heart for the Hills” are original compositions, written by its founding members, still keeping in mind the clean, simplicity of style, for which Blue Maggie is known.  Billed as West Virginia’s Biggest-Little Bluegrass Band, Blue Maggie performs throughout West Virginia, Kentucky, and Virginia.

When Page left the band in 2008, due to health concerns, Brent Stapleton joined the band on guitar and banjo, but BLUE MAGGIE remained a three-piece act, and recorded their second CD, “The Nearest Way” in 2008, a CD of all original compositions, whose tunes were picked up by gospel and Americana stations throughout the mid-west.

In 2010, with the release of “Radio Blue”---their third CD, BLUE MAGGIE reached a milestone of over 3000 subscribers to their social network and video pages. To date, Blue Maggie enjoys selling CD’s and MP3 downloads world-wide.

Cheryl was born and raised in Elkview, WV---Richard in Hazard, Kentucky---Brent in Pennsylvania.  They each bring different musical experiences to the group--- Cheryl singing with different gospel groups, Richard with rock and heavy-metal groups, Brent with numerous country and Americana bands, performing in their early years.      

“The goal of this band is still basic”, as Cheryl states.  “Blue Maggie wants to be the most entertaining band to come from the Mountain State.  Blue Maggie works hard to be there, in person and on radio, to remind folks of their childhoods, listening to the kind of music you felt in your heart, that made you the kind of person you would become, not so different from your ancestors, even in the modern day.  We also want to draw the interest of the youth and introduce them to the sound and get them interested in the heritage of Bluegrass music from the Appalachians.”
