“Americanasonic” is what you might call the melting pot that is Margaret McDuffie’s songwriting. Also a jazz chanteuse, McDuffie has been scribbling metaphors and humming tunes in the direction of social consciousness since the teenage years. But there’s a lot of warmth and flirtation in her style as well. She sings about floods and injustice alongside beauty and romance without anything ever feeling out of place.
The influences run deep, spanning from the dry, earthy strains of early folk and blues through to the lush, rhythmic flow of modern rhythm & blues. Her music and her voice travel through the genres easily, with a ring of hope that keeps you coming back for more.
Her latest CD, “Dreamers of Atlantis” (2021), is a songwriter-via-country-swing album that hits several attractions in her unique Americanasonic soundscape, with songs about things old as time, and things that get under the skin of modern life. A funkier take on the same themes is her album “Pass It On” (2019), including a Steely Dan-like ode to hurricanes called “That’s What She Said” that feels like a galloping storm with big jazzy blue horns blowing overhead.
Margaret McDuffie, McDuffie & Co. and The McDuffie Trio have performed for some ten years in the valley, notably at The Falcon in Marlboro, the Towne Crier, Beacon’s Dogwood Bar, the Howland Center, Garrison Depot Theater Music Tracks Series, and Tompkins Corners Cultural Center.
