The Maes are a Melbourne, Australia folk duo formed by sisters Maggie and Elsie Rigby. The act began as The Mae Trio with cellist and vocalist Anita Hillman, who departed the lineup in 2017 to return to teaching, prompting the group's rename to The Maes. The duo has released several studio albums, including a self-titled record in 2019 and a fourth album, Abreast, in 2025.
What stands out from the available record is the sustained sibling partnership at the core of The Maes, carried through a name change, a lineup shift, and a multi-album catalog spanning more than a decade.
