The beautiful melodies and high-energy tempo of Maggie’s Wake kicked off the 2026-2027 Sioux Hudson Entertainment Series season on Oct. 8 at the Sioux North High School cafetorium. “Maggie’s Wake is a high-energy folk roots band from Southwestern Ontario, blending Celtic-inspired fiddle, tin whistle and flute with the spirit of jazz, Americana, and classic country. Fronted by award-winning musicians Tara Dunphy and Lindsay Schindler, the group weaves rich harmonies, heartfelt storytelling, and irresistible rhythm into a sound that’s both timeless and fresh,” Maggie’s Wake’s website states of the group. “Their debut album, released in 2024 to critical acclaim, set the stage for sold-out theatre shows and earned them the 2025 Canadian Folk Music Award for Best New/Emerging Artist. Maggie’s Wake celebrates deep roots with a bold, new sound that connects tradition and innovation in every note,” their website adds. Dunphy and Schindler are joined by equally celebrated musicians Ken Palmer on acoustic and electric guitar and Peter Klassen on bass. The group performed traditional songs along with their own music.

"I was a little bit more humble about it. "Abbott said, in his head, he felt like doing "a fist bump," but when he arrived on stage at the Anaheim Convention Center, "The applause was muted. ""I was like, 'I'm just going to walk out and nod,'" he explained, laughing.
