Maggie's Wake

Maggie's Wake is a Canadian new-trad, female-fronted folk-celtic crew creating an exciting splash in the roots music scene serving up an electrifying fusion of Celtic tradition with roots swagger. Expect driving jigs and reels, soaring whistles, double fiddle, flashes of country twang not to mention Cajun/global roots twists that’s pure joy from start to finish.

United in their passion for fiery tunes, soaring vocals and poignant storytelling, these 2025 CFMA winners embrace their wide ranging influences and have built an exciting, new sound. The acclaimed band features award winning songwriter/multi-instrumentalist Tara Dunphy and award winning violinist/fiddler/songwriter & composer Lindsay Schindler, backed by powerhouses Andrew Kosty on bass and Kenneth Palmer on guitar.

The acclaimed quartet came together in late 2022 and quickly took Ontario by storm — selling out dates on their very first "Spirit of the Season" holiday tour. Since then, they've showcased at major music conferences across Canada, the US and UK, , have a whirlwind 2026 & 2027 tour on the books, won the 2025 Canadian Folk Music Award for 'New Artist of the Year', launched a Holiday EP, and have a sophomore CD on the way… not bad for a band just a few years in!

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 honoring tradition while forging their own path in roots music.
