MaMuse Live in Montague
Montague Retreat Center/The HeARTbeat Collective Presents MaMuse w/ Special Guest James Bird
Heart-opening harmonies. Soul-nourishing songs. A night to remember.
Beloved folk-soul duo MaMuse - that’s “Ma” like Mamma, “Muse” like the one who inspires - are bringing their full band to the Montague Retreat Center
Join MaMuse for an evening celebrating the release of their seventh full-length album, This Is the Venue.
More than just an album, it is a reflection of what it means to be human in this time. These songs hold space for celebration and grief, for the hard conversations and the healing that follows.
Wholeheartedly fed by the folk and gospel traditions, MaMuse blends rich vocal harmonies with upright bass, guitar, mandolin, flute, and keys to create a sound that is as rich and varied as the emotions it explores.
The evening will feature new music alongside beloved songs such as We Shall Be Known and Hallelujah, which have found their way into community choirs, weddings, funerals, birth rooms, and gatherings around the world.
After two incredible decades of writing songs, touring, and making music together, MaMuse continues to create concerts that invite connection, presence, and audience-inspired magic
James Bird is a poet/musician/bard local to Western Massachusetts. A live musician at heart, he has shared his ethereal folk music in a diversity of spaces like festivals, farmer’s markets, funerals, wedding ceremonies, ecstatic dances and grief rituals. Myth is a central theme in Bird’s music, using ancient stories to speak to the timeless human experiences of love, loss, friendship, mystery, death and rebirth.
