Maggie's Wake

Welcome to Grande Prairie Live Theatre's 32nd Season of Folk, Roots, and Blues Concerts!

Our Seasoned Promoter, Franz Kratschat brings us a new batch of incredible artists for the 32nd year in a row!

 

Introducing the Sixth and Final Concert of the Series: Maggie's Wake! Thursday, April 15th, 2027 at 7:30 pm. Doors Open at 7pm!

Maggie's Wake is a refreshing and exciting band from Southwestern Ontario, Canada. "We are creating new music that expands on our influences and our sound is a blend of traditional folk and contemporary styles, including jazz, Americana and classic country. Our band members are passionate about bringing the rich history of folk music to life in a contemporary way and we strive to create a unique sound that reflects our heritage while also being wholly original. Our goal is to bring joy and inspiration to our audiences through our music."

The band features the stellar duo of award winning songwriter and multi-instrumentalist Tara Dunphy (The Rizdales, Luther Wright and the Wrongs) on lead vocals, harmonizing tin whistle, flute and fiddle and award winning and internationally recognized Lindsay Schindler (Rant Maggie Rant, Trent Severn) as lead instrumentalist on fiddle/violin and harmony vocals. Their powerhouse band includes Andrew Kosty on upright and electric bass, Ken Palmer on acoustic and electric guitar, and frequent guests Dean Harrison on piano and accordion and Steven Szczesniak on percussion.

They have been playing sold out theatres and concert halls for the past 18 months, building much anticipation for their debut album, the self titled "Maggie's Wake", which was released on March 17th, 2024 worldwide to critical acclaim. Maggie's Wake performed as an Official Showcase Artist at the 2024 Folk Alliance conference in Kansas City, MO. They are thrilled to be an Official Showcase Artist at North Eastern Regional Folk Alliance (NERFA) in Portland, Maine in November 2024 and they have been nominated as Best New/Emerging Artist for the Canadian Folk Music Awards.
