The Imaginaries is an Americana band formed in the open plains of Oklahoma. Consisting of husband & wife duo Shane Henry (guitar, vocals) & Maggie McClure (piano, vocals), their debut album was released March 26, 2021. It was recorded in famed Muscle Shoals, AL with legendary “Swampers” & 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 & real-life lessons. Maggie, with her subtly sweet vocals and piano-driven style fuses seamlessly with Shane’s blues-rock grit to form their own unique blend of Americana/Singer-Songwriter music. 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, Alain Johannes, Sixpence None The Richer 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. The film stars Cheryl Ladd, Savannah Lee May and Darci Lynne. Maggie and Shane also co-star in the music driven family feature film, distributed by Samuel Goldwyn Films, on Amazon Prime, Apple TV, Starz & more. The duo has had over 75 placements with their songs featured in film/television/ads. They currently have 2 songs featured in film Mending The Line on Netflix (#1 Movie on Netflix in March 2024) and have a track featured in (and appear on camera performing it) in biopic Reagan starring Dennis Quaid, in theaters August 30, 2024.
Their newest single "Whole Lotta Livin'" features fellow Okie Vince Gill on guitar and is the first of many new tracks from The Imaginaries' upcoming album. The 2nd single from the new album is "Crossroads" feat. Joe Bonamassa out October 4th, 2024.
