The Maes bring modern folk to life with lush harmonies and acoustic mastery on guitar, mandolin, fiddle and banjo. Born in Victoria Australia, the sisters grew up immersed in a melting pot of music from around the world washed up on stolen land. With echoes of Gillian Welch and The Waifs, there is a timeless luminescence and simplicity to the songwriting and sound of Maggie and Elsie Rigby.
'I’ve always had such love for The Maes! Their timeless sound is always sung with such
sincerity and emotion straight from the heart.' – Josh Teskey
'simply superb' — The Australian
Central Victorian folk singer/songwriter, Mariah McCarthy, broaches themes of love, loss, betrayal and tragedy with authenticity, and often haunting melancholy but always a glimmer of precious hope.
With delicately woven songs rich in storytelling and three-part harmonies, Mariah and her trio captivates their audiences through honest and affecting tales that hang around in your head long after listening.
