Maggie Carty - Adelaide House Concert - Ebb and Flow Album Tour - Songlines of the diaspora

Melbourne-based Irish banjo player and singer Maggie Carty presents an intimate solo performance of her debut album Ebb and Flow in Adelaide. This special house concert, held in Erindale on Friday 15 August, invites audiences on a deeply personal musical journey through Irish folk tradition, reimagined with Australian folk influences, bluesy undertones, and transcontinental soul.

Originally from Boyle in County Roscommon on the west coast of Ireland, Maggie is a fourth-generation musician who brings a fresh energy and a unique female voice to the tradition. Now living in Naarm or Melbourne, she blends rhythm-driven banjo playing with expressive vocals and draws contemporary inspiration from Americana and blues. Her music breathes new life into old songs while honouring the history and stories of the Irish diaspora.

Since moving to Australia in 2017, Maggie has become a recognised voice in the national folk scene. She has performed at some of the country’s most celebrated festivals including Port Fairy Folk Festival, Woodford Folk Festival, The National Folk Festival, Illawarra Folk Festival, and CresFest. Her work celebrates cultural connections between Ireland and Australia and explores themes of migration, belonging, and identity with warmth, grit, and emotion.

This performance is part of Maggie Carty’s national Australian tour supported by Culture Ireland. The tour will see her visit every state and territory across the country as she presents Ebb and Flow: Songlines of the Diaspora between August and October 2025.

Join Maggie for an unforgettable night of traditional songs, reimagined through banjo, voice, and story, in a cozy, welcoming setting.
