Consisting of husband and wife duo Shane Henry (guitar, vocals) and Maggie McClure (piano, vocals), their debut album was released March 26, 2021. It was recorded in famed Muscle Shoals, AL with legendary “Swampers” and serves as both an introduction to The Imaginaries and the beginning of their journey as a band after both singer songwriters have enjoyed their own successes as solo artists. The songs are filled with effortless harmonies, heartfelt lyrics and real-life lessons.

The Imaginaries were selected to open for the Brian Setzer Orchestra Christmas Rocks! Tour in 2019. The duo has recently opened for artists like Judy Collins, John Waite and more. Maggie and Shane wrote/produced the soundtrack for and made their debut as Film Producers with feature film, A Cowgirl’s Song, written/directed by Timothy Armstrong.
