Dana Maragos is a Chicago-area singer/songwriter, who released a new studio album locally in late 2024, titled Unimaginable Things and is now releasing it nationally for the first time.  Her fourth studio release, it is dedicated to the memory of her late brother, Danny (1960-2023).

The album was “inspired by conversations, stories and reflections of troubles and triumphs.” It’s also a “reminder to hold onto one’s identity, authenticity and perspective in the midst of every day challenges.” The songs have acoustic guitar-based roots and blend an old and new Folk feel with Americana and Rock.

The album was co-Produced and recorded primarily at John Abbey’s Kingsize Sound Labs in Chicago alongside the multi-instrumentalist Brian Wilkie.

Meeting musicians and collaborators and finding friends of the live music scene in Chicago is central to Dana Maragos’ musical mission. Dana is a south Chicago native, currently lives on the city’s north side, is married, and has two sons.
