A singer/songwriter with long list of credits to her name, Maggie Cocco, will be the guest performer at the Whangateau Folk Club on April 29.

Hailing from metro Detroit, Cocco’s dedication to exploring the depth, breadth, and profundity of music has seen her perform in stadiums with legacy artists, galleries with avante garde expressionists, and many people, places, and music genres in between.

Now based in Northland, Cocco composes and runs community music programming between tours.
The evening will start as usual with floor singers, where anyone can sign up to play a couple of songs.
Guests are asked to note that club nights are being held at the Leigh Hall while the Whangateau Hall is being renovated. Doors open at 6.45pm for a 7pm start.
