Maggie Spike to Perform at the Nazareth Center for the Arts

The duo that is Maggie Spike will take to the stage at the Nazareth Center for the Arts at 8 p.m. on Friday.

Maggie and Eric Gernerd, a husband and wife team, are singer-songwriters whose love for their craft and each other is evident in each performance.

“What a treat to see the obvious love of music and each other executed so well in musical form! I was really impressed. Great stuff!” -- Carlo R., posted on Maggie Spike's website

“Maggie Spike are wonderful performers;  Maggie’s voice is sweet and bright... so very entertaining.” -- Ian Bruce, the founder of the Lehigh Valley Music Conference

Maggie Spike has released two albums -- "Passenger Station" in 2005 and "Sol Paradise" in 2009.

It’s difficult to classify the duo's genre. Their style encompasses folk rock, jazz, acoustic pop, Celtic, psychedelic, reggae, Americana and world rhythm. This broad spectrum of musical style means every Maggie Spike performance has a little something for everyone.

According to the duo, “We enjoy the experience of sharing our songs with others in an entertaining and meaningful way.”

Maggie Spike -- one of four finalists in the Xtreme Folk Festival's 7th Annual Song Contest -- will perform “Statues in the Rain" Saturday during the two-day Xtreme Folk Festival that starts Friday in Telford.

Following the Saturday afternoon performances, a winner will be chosen and will have the opportunity to perform his or her song on the main stage that night.

For Friday night's performance at the Nazareth Center for the Arts, admission is free; however, a donation to benefit the local arts center is suggested.
