The Imaginaries are an Oklahoma-based husband-and-wife duo blending vocalist/guitarist Shane Henry’s blues-rock roots with vocalist/keyboardist Maggie McClure’s boldly vulnerable singer-songwriter sensibility. Maggie and Shane are born-and-raised, proud Oklahomans. Maggie is from the large city of Norman, and Shane is from the tiny, 700-person town of Verden. Both wield impressive solo artist resumes, with prime song placements, critically acclaimed solo albums, acting appearances, and landmark live performances. The results are a pop-americana aesthetic that evokes Tom Petty, Fleetwood Mac, The Civil Wars, and Bonnie Raitt.
Their sophomore album, Fever, released August 2025, is a salvation-after-struggle themed album, bursting with gritty blues-rock riffs, mesmerising vocal harmonies, driving pop-rock tunes, heartfelt singer-songwriter ballads, delicious guitar tones, and dazzling solos. The 12-song collection boasts guitar-solo cameos from Vince Gill, Joe Bonamassa, and Ariel Posen. It is a guns-a-blazing artistic statement. The title track is an adrenalised melding of edgy blues-rock and soaring pop. It features a day-in-the-life narrative that comes to life in a stylish video replete with one of Shane’s muscle cars. It captures just how we imagine the twosome travel and tour, living something of a wholesome-but-rock’ n’ roll Bonnie and Clyde romance.
