Next cab off the rank at number 4 in our series is Canadian come Australian Meghan Maike.  Reflecting on her time in Clarkesdale, Missiisspip, we learn about how her experiences have shaped her musical project with the Cactus Flowers and their Americana and roots leanings.  From her family’s background running folk festivals, to her time in venues, she explores how her life has shaped her songwriting and story telling from her perspective, and her creative process.  She tells us about her song writing, her current band mates, her plans for 2025 as well as what other performers she’s looking forward to at Port Fairy next March.  We can’t wait to see her shows at the Port Fairy Folk Festival 7-10 March 2025.

Thanks to the legendary Southern Ocean Sea Band for providing their track ‘Whaler’s Rig’ and our wonderful host, Frank Davidson.
