Maggie Bjorklund


Maggie Bjorklund is a Danish Pedal Steel player, guitarist, & composer that we fell in love with after seeing her play with Mark Pickerel at SXSW a coupla years back.
Maggie is best known in Europe as a member of the group the Darleens and as a featured player with Lennart Ginman, Miss B. Haven, Nils Skousen and others.
In the U.S. she is known for her work with Mark Pickerel and his Praying Hands and as a session player for producers Johnny Sangster and Steve Fisk.  She also recently toured and recorded with Exene Cervenka.
Maggie’s connection to Seattle  has led to her playing on many records for US artists. Some of the recordings she has appeared on are Christy McWilson “Martini Mansion”, The Dept of Energy “Faster”, Mark Pickerel “Cody’s Dream” and “Snake In the Radio” and Rusty Willoughby “Cobirds Unite”.


Her album Coming Home, featuring heavy hitters like Calexico, Mark Lanegan, Rachel Flotard and Jon Auer, will be released by Bloodshot in the Spring of 2011.


"coming home coming home
you know it’s the end
that warm summer touch
has run like sand
i have not the strength
to take your hand
your angels once kind
have landed us here
they’re singing our song
if only if only..."
