Mod-trad, female-fronted folk-celtic crew MAGGIE’S WAKE are fresh off their acclaimed debut at Ireland’s premier music industry showcase, and appearing at the Midland Cultural Centre (pres. by Brookside Music) on Saturday, May 2, 7:00pm (Free for Children/Students, $35 Adults, https://tinyurl.com/BrooksideMusic-MaggiesWake-tix ).
Expect a fiery fusion of Celtic tradition and roots swagger with driving jigs and reels, soaring whistles, double fiddle, flashes of country twang not to mention Cajun/global roots twists that’s pure joy from start to finish.
United in their passion for rollicking tunes, soaring vocal harmonies and poignant storytelling, Maggie's Wake embraces their wide-ranging influences and have built an exciting, new sound. The band features award-winning songwriter/multi- instrumentalist Tara Dunphy and award-winning violinist/fiddler, songwriter & composer, Lindsay Schindler. They are backed by powerhouses Andrew Kosty on bass and Kenneth Palmer on guitar.
The acclaimed quartet came together in late 2022 and quickly took Ontario by storm — selling out dates on their very first "Spirit of the Season" holiday tour. Since then, they've showcased at major music conferences across Canada, the US and UK, have a whirlwind 2026 & 2027 tour on the books, won the 2025 CFMA for 'New Artist of the Year' for their debut CD, launched a Holiday EP, and have a sophomore CD on the way… not bad for a band just a few years in!
