"The Margaret Explosion's music is infinite, eternally elegant, and mystical.
Their esoteric wonder paints pictures in my head nonstop." - Frank DeBlase - Rochester City Newspaper

"One of the most original and unusual bands in Rochester; a five-piece ensemble exploring all sorts of musical dimensions
linked to free jazz, Third World melodies, exotic instrumentation and a spacey, enveloping sort of music.
The Explosion plays with a single-minded purpose and organic oneness that's most impressive." - Jack Garner - D&C

Upcoming Live Dates Include:

Every Wednesday in October, November & December 7:30-9:30pm FREE Admission
Savor expresso and pastries, sip wine or gulp beer in the acoustically superior Little Theatre Cafe
