Today we have a real treat! I recently spoke with Jess Hawk Oakenstar and Kate DeLaPointe of the Phoenix-based folk duo Wayward Maggie. Our conversation covered how they have learned to blend their diverse musical backgrounds, what it feels like to sing in harmony with one another, and how they work together as musicians. You will also get to hear excerpts from a 2010 acoustic concert that they performed at Cup O’Karma in Mesa.

Enjoy!
