The Maes (formerly The Mae Trio) are sisters Maggie, who plays banjo, guitar and vocals, and Elsie Rigby, who plays fiddle, mandolin and vocals, will be joined by John Flanagan who combines 60s and 70s folk singer/songwriter influences with a contemporary Americana/bluegrass sound.
The Maes have just launched their self-titled record and are embarking on their biggest ever Australian tour.
What started as a plan to make a four-track EP mid-tour last year at Lake Echo studio in Nova Scotia, Canada with producer Daniel Ledwell, turned into recording a brand new album in studios across Canada, Ireland, Scotland and back home in Melbourne.
Over the last three years the pair have toured extensively, bringing their unique contemporary twist on folk music to audiences in Australia, North America, the UK and Ireland, most recently performing at the legendary Telluride Festival in Colorado.
