From the west of Ireland, banjo player and singer Maggie Carty brings a fresh, soulful energy to Irish traditional music. Now based in Melbourne, she blends driving banjo rhythms, evocative vocals, and influences from Americana and Australian folk to reimagine old songs with raw emotion and groove. Performing with her powerhouse trio – tenor guitar, double bass, and percussion – Maggie delivers high-energy tunes and heartfelt ballads. Her debut solo album, Ebb and Flow, explores themes of emigration, tradition, and the Irish diaspora, offering a sound that’s both deeply rooted and boldly new.
