Maggie is becoming one of the biggest Midwestern names in pure country music.

After buying her first guitar in 2002, she has taught herself to play and sing and has been entertaining crowds ever since. Maggie and her husband, Roger Hilliard, own and operate Maggie Mae's Café in Oxford, Wisconsin, which won "RESTAURANT PICK OF THE MONTH" award through the Discover Wisconsin Radio/TV show. Folks travel from across the country to stop at her café where she might just be there singing your favorite country song over breakfast. Maggie says, "Everyday there are so many folks that travel from states and cities away to my café in Oxford, Wisconsin, or attend some of my other shows across the state. I love seeing the smiles on fans faces." Maggie and Roger also crop farm in Wisconsin, and love being connected with their rural roots.
To date, she has recorded seven albums, with plenty of toe-tapping and yodeling songs that will make you smile. Her songs are currently being played on many radio stations across the country and abroad. She has sung with such greats as: The Riders in the Sky, Branson on the Road, David Church and recorded a duet with country great Doug Stone as well as opened up shows for many artists. In 2011, Maggie's album "Cooking Up Country" won the Rural Roots Music Commissions pick for Contemporary Country CD of the Year Award.
Maggie has performed for three years at the RFD TV Theater in Branson, Missouri, and will return to that stage in October. She and her band, Heartland Country, travel and perform at theaters, dances, fairs, festivals and many other events throughout the states. Folks have been traveling from across the country to see her shows.
