About the Bands

Crossroad Magdalenes

Inspired by strong backgrounds in folk rock, country and blues Greg MacLachlan and Christina Johnson formed the Crossroad Magdalenes, a musical duo, in 2015.
Their songwriting skills fuse to expound on their collective talent. Guitars in unique tunings support tight harmonies and combine to create a musical experience audiences won’t forget.  Now supported by percussionist Aaron Dunn and bassist Alex White, their sound is fuller and more dynamic than ever!
