Maggie’s Wake is a Canadian contemporary folk group, creating a new traditional sound. Blending high twang, classic country with fresh jigs and reels, cajun twin fiddles and reggae rhythms, their music is an original, genre hopping adventure that is constantly evolving. United in their passion for fiery tunes, soaring vocals with rich harmonies, meaningful stories and beautiful melodies, Maggie’s Wake embraces their wide ranging influences and have built an exciting, new sound. The band features award winning songwriter and musician Tara Dunphy (The Rizdales, Luther Wright and the Wrongs) on tin whistle, flute, fiddle, guitar, banjo and lead vocals and award winning musician Lindsay Schindler (Rant Maggie Rant, Trent Severn) on fiddle and vocals. The powerhouse backing band includes Stephan Szczesniak on percussion, Andrew Kosty on bass Dean Harrison on piano and accordian and Kenneth Palmer on guitar.
Dale Watson, the Texas honky tonk legend, says “You can’t grow if you rip your roots out of the ground” and Maggie’s Wake have taken that to heart. They are honouring tradition while forging their own path in roots music.
“Hotshot swing, crackerjack instrumentals, superb harmonies & hysterical stagecraft” —The Folk Project
“Way more fun than squirrels in a bag of nuts… Smokin’ great” —Patrice O’Neill, Wintergrass
Rob Flax possesses a rare combination of skills: he is an award-winning violinist, classically trained but known for his jazz and improvisational pyrotechnics and irresistible grooves; he’s also a powerhouse vocalist, capable of silky crooning a la Nat King Cole or visceral Chicago blues shouts.
Rob Flax’s Boom Chick Trio features Slava Tolstoy on guitar and Max Ridley on bass, elevating Rob’s originals with intricate instrumental interplay, tight vocal harmonies, and irreverent humor.
