Nominated for the 2018 Na Hoku Hanohano Award for Single of the Year, Maggie Herron's rendition of “In My Life” (Lennon/McCartney) features Larry Koonse-Guitar and Dean Taba-Bass with Maggie On vocals. Maggie Herron’s CD, ‘Between the Music and the Moon’ is the winner of the 2017 Na Hoku Hanohano Award for Jazz Album of the Year. Nominated for Female Vocalist of the Year, the CD features 12 original songs with engineering and mastering by Paul Tavenner. The title track features guitarist, Grant Geissman. With 10 original and 2 cover songs, Maggie delivers her rich,contralto vocals over horn driven, guitar laden original bluesy and New Orleans style songs. Contemplative and storytelling songs feature Maggie at piano along with 2 guest jazz piano greats on several tracks: Bill Cunliffe and Geoffrey Keezer. The making of A Ton Of Trouble “was born during a year of flu, a broken arm and the natural lowering of my vocal range,” Herron explains. However, Herron has successfully managed to turn her troubles into lyrical creative fodder, including elements of humor, fun, contemplation and storytelling. Herron relied on some longtime collaborators to help with the album’s eleven other jazz pieces. Bill Cunliffe arranged six of the albums songs as well as accompanies Herron on piano for those tracks. Bassist,Dean Taba, who also regularly performs live with Herron at Lewer’s Lounge in Waikiki, plays on all but one of the album’s tracks. Her daughter, Dawn Herron, co-wrote lyrics for five of the albums original songs. The album was engineered by Paul Tavenner at Big City Recording Studios. Maggie can be seen weekly, performing at Honolulu's premier jazz club, Lewers Lounge.  https://store.cdbaby.com/cd/maggieherron7
