Maggie Rigby (The Maes) and Liv Greene (USA) Live at the Taproom
Event description
Two very special singer/songwriters are coming to the Taproom for one brilliant evening - Maggie Rigby and Liv Greene.
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 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 (formerly The Mae Trio) 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 roots music festivals including the Telluride Bluegrass Festival in the US, Edmonton Folk Festival in Canada, and Celtic Connections Festival in the UK. Maggie’s budding solo career has begun to blossom from there: In 2023 she completed a tour of the UK, sold 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. In 2025 Maggie played the Nannup Music Festival in WA and won the Troubadour of the Year Award at Newstead Live Music Festival.
Liv Greene isn’t running from herself anymore. She’s pried herself open and let real longing, frustration, and love break free. Deep Feeler, her sophomore album, is a reckoning with reality, a vulnerable snapshot of hard-won self-acceptance. It’s feminine, queer, and defiant. It also heralds the arrival of Greene as a powerful new voice who joins the songwriting tradition of Emmylou, Patty, Gillian, and Lucinda – in her own way. Greene self-produced and recorded Deep Feeler primarily live to tape in Nashville’s Woodland Sound Studios, with collaborator Matt Andrews (Gillian Welch & Dave Rawlings, O Brother Where Art Thou) and a dreamy band of friends including Jack Schneider, Sarah Jarosz, Dom Billett, Elise Leavy, Jordan Tice, and Christian Sedelmeyer. The resulting collection of lilting melodies and poignant storytelling is a bold achievement: a piece of art that matters culturally, musically, and personally.
