Magpie

The songs of the working class, justice, and the environment are combined with songs of romance and interpersonal relationships by Magpie, a duo featuring Terry Leonino and Greg Artzner. When Leonino and Artzner first came together, in September 1973, Leonino was in her senior year at Kent State University. Upon her graduation, the following spring, the duo moved to Takoma Park, MD, and became active participants in the Washington, D.C.-area folk community. Magpie's debut album, Magpie & Friends, released in 1978, and their third album, If It Ain't Love, released in 1986, showcased their eclectic repertoire. Their second album, Working My Life Away, released in 1983, focused on the songs about the struggles of the working class. Living Planet, released in 1990, and Circle of Life, their first album of children's songs, released in 1992, examined ecological issues. Seed On The Prairie spotlighted their songwriting.
