Emily Maguire’s hinterland tour
Acclaimed singer-songwriter and poet Emily Maguire (pictured above) is touring the Sunshine Coast hinterland. Emily is a classically trained multi-instrumentalist and composer and contemporary folk artist who has toured Europe extensively with American legends Don McLean, Dr Hook and Eric Bibb. Open about her struggles with bipolar disorder, Emily’s experience of mental health recovery and her practice of Buddhist meditation over the past 20 years have strongly influenced her song writing. With a hauntingly beautiful voice and songs ‘bathed in raw, emotional power’ (Guitarist Magazine), Emily’s live show is a moving and thought-provoking experience not to be missed. Featuring renowned local string players, sisters Sarah and Louise King, and Emily’s husband Christian Dunham on bass.
