About
Maggie Rigby is a singer, songwriter, guitar and banjo player from Castlemaine, Central Victoria, Australia. The eldest child of Central Victorian folk musicians, she grew up sitting under the chairs of tunes players, sleeping on the floor at the side of stages or singing harmonies with her sisters in the back of the car.In the last 10 years she has toured all over the world with her iconic Melbourne folk band, The Maes with her sister Elsie Rigby. The band have produced three multi-award-winning albums, sold out shows around the world and played many of the world’s most prestigious music festivals including the Telluride Bluegrass Festival in the US and Edmonton Folk Festival in Canada.
Maggie’s budding solo career has begun to blossom from there: in 2023 she completed a tour of the UK, sold-out her Australian East Coast tour and played at the Woodford Folk Festival. In 2024 she appeared solo at Glasgow’s prestigious Celtic Connections festival and opened shows for Julia Jacklin.
