Beloved Melbourne folk band The Maes is the brainchild of sisters Maggie and Elsie Rigby. With echoes of Gillian Welch and The Waifs, there’s a timeless luminescence and simplicity to their songwriting. Soaring vocal harmonies and heart-warming storytelling. “Quite simply breathtaking” – Rhythms Magazine.
