We’re thrilled to welcome The Maes back to the Blue Mountains as part of their biggest-ever Australian headline tour, celebrating the release of their brand-new album Abreast.

Sisters Maggie and Elsie Rigby will fill the Baroque Room with their luminous harmonies, warm storytelling, and acoustic brilliance on guitar, banjo, fiddle and mandolin.
Don’t miss this special night in a dedicated “listening space” setting. It’s folk, but with heart, humour and harmonies that stay with you.

The Maes bring modern folk to life with lush harmonies and acoustic mastery on guitar, mandolin, fiddle and banjo. Born in Central Victoria, the sisters grew up immersed in a melting pot of music from around the world washed up on stolen land. The Maes are outstanding live, with engaging storytelling and spine-tingling harmonies. The sisters draw their audience in like your sweetest and scariest friend. 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.

As well as selling out headline shows around the country and overseas, their international festival appearances include appearances at the Telluride Bluegrass Festival (USA) Edmonton Folk Festival (Canada) Orkney Folk Festival (UK) and Woodford Folk Festival (Aus).

The band's fourth studio album, 'Abreast' is coming out in July of 2025 and will be supported by a tour of the UK opening for Grace Petrie as well as playing the Shetland and Orkney Folk Festivals. The Maes are also celebrating the album's release by curating a one-day folk-festival-style event, 'Abreastival' in Castlemaine's iconic Theatre Royal. The band's previous albums, 2019's self-titled record and 2017's Take Care, Take Cover won the Music Victoria, Folk/Roots Album of the Year among a host of other accolades.

‘The Maes folk/pop sensibility is alluring. I'm a sucker for harmonies and these girls cover this ground with such bluegrass perfection, it makes me realise so many styles of our music grow from the same old tree - we are merely branches away from each other.’ – Troy Cassar-Daley

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
