Beaucoup Chapeaux founder and leader Maggie McKaig is an accordionist, guitarist, vocalist, and award-winning composer who was worked with luminaries such as bassists Michael Zisman and Bill Douglass, saxophonist George Brooks, and Grammy-winner Mary Youngblood. McKaig and her bandmates–including Wilson; Campbell, who frequently plays with North State, InConcert, and Auburn symphonies; and composer/vocalist Randy McKean, leader of the the modern chamber quartet Bristle–have played numerous tours throughout Northern California and the Pacific Northwest, as well as countless evenings at a French café in their hometown of Nevada City, California.
