A new track from sisters Maggie and Elsie Rigby is an exploration of human kindness, respect and trust in others flavoured with defiant optimism, delivered with gorgeous, Australian-accent driven, a cappella harmonies and frailing banjo.
The Maes' upcoming self-titled record is a return to the sisters' folk music roots. Gentle, intimate and conversational, the album is an unadorned showcase of Maggie and Elsie's superb songwriting as well as honest, relaxed and stunning vocal and instrumental performances.
Born into the arms of the folk music community in Australia, Maggie and Elsie were side of stage at their first folk festival when they were four weeks old and have been absorbing and exploring folk music since that time.
Since 2014, The Maes have been full time touring in Australia and overseas, winning over audiences with their striking songwriting, intricate instrumental arrangements and stunning vocal harmonies at some of the worlds largest and most prestigious music festivals.
Come and see The Maes at 7pm along with one of our favourite cellists Monique Clare at the theatre.
Tickets for The Maes are available at the door or online at our website www.dorrigofolkbluegrass.com.au and also through Bridget at 0428 415 078 or 0428 415 078. $30.
