About the event

Join us at the Undercurrent for the Raven Mavens featuring opening act Helen Dorothy on Saturday, 11 May!

7pm start, $20 waged / $15 unwaged.

The Raven Mavens Quartette is the brainchild of Wellington singer songwriter Cindy Muggeridge, following her dream of forming an all female band. It started as a duo in 2011 with Cindy on boogie and blues piano and Marian Carter adding soulful clarinet. The duo became a trio when they added Anje Glindemann on drums, with her sometimes light, sometimes rocking, but always solid feel. Then the trio became a quartet with the addition of multi-instrumental virtuoso Kate Marshall on accordion, flute and violin. Each of these women is a musician and a singer, worth hearing in her own right, but when they get together there is a unique and beautiful synergy.

To add to the magic of the musical lineup, Cindy has written a collection of original songs for the Quartette, featuring each band member in turn as the lead singer. Recording the songs was a natural step in refining the arrangements and, in 2021, the band launched the Raven Mavens Quartette CD.

Expect this talented combination of women to dish up a variety of voices, instruments and styles as they deliver Cindy’s engaging and provocative songs. They will also be throwing in some of their favourite covers drawing, from great divas like Bessie Smith, Katie Webster and Nina Simone.
