Bio
Maggie Carty is an Irish‑born banjo player, singer and folk musician now based in Naarm/Melbourne, Australia. Originally from Boyle in County Roscommon, she comes from a long lineage of traditional musicians and has made her mark on the Australian folk scene since relocating in 2017. Her music combines Irish traditional folk with influences from Americana, Australian folk and blues, delivered with soulful vocals and driving banjo rhythms that evoke deep storytelling and cultural resonance. Maggie has performed at major Australian festivals such as the Port Fairy Folk Festival, Woodford Folk Festival and The National Folk Festival, and she leads a dynamic trio and full‑band ensemble for live performances. Her debut solo album, Ebb and Flow (2025), explores themes of migration, identity and the Irish diaspora and has earned her significant acclaim.
