- Maggie Speaks - Live Music for Weddings and Corporate Events

Maggie Speaks is excited to be part of the line up during the Joplin concert commemorating the one year anniversary of the Joplin tornado that destroyed the town.  In addition the event will showcase Joplin native and country singer, Kenny Foster and a special appearance by emerging country star, Chassidy Stanton.

The concert will serve as a kickoff to the “All Roads Lead to Joplin” event at Speedco.  All proceeds and donations from the event will be donated to the Joplin YMCA Outreach Program.

We have had the privilege of playing at some really cool events.  However, we’ve never had a guest like this:  a baby Cheetah named Moya was the guest of honor at the Whirl at the Zoo, benefiting the Brookfield Zoo.  In addition to the Cheetah, a penguin, flamingo,  Fennec fox, red-tailed hawk, great-horned owl, lynx, llama and bald eagle joined the guests before dinner.  And yes, we did play “Eye of the Tiger” when Moya made her entrance!

In addition to the warm fuzzies from the animals,  the benefit raised around $1.3 to fund the zoo’s programming.
