Maggie Koerner “Upstate Tour”

Maggie Koerner brings her “Upstate Tour” to Songbyrd Music House in support of her latest album, *UPSTATE*. The New Orleans-based singer-songwriter co-produced the 12-track record with Ajai in New Orleans. Her music draws from indie, folk, and singer-songwriter traditions, with a performance history spanning solo work, festival stages, and collaborations with prominent artists.

Koerner’s career began after she earned a bachelor’s degree in psychology and attracted the attention of producer Brady Blade, who worked on her debut album, *Quarter Life* (2011). After moving to New Orleans, she wrote and self-produced *Neutral Ground* (2013). She later became the frontwoman of Galactic, performing internationally and appearing on the band’s albums *Carnivale Electricos* and *Into The Deep*. She has also toured or shared bills with Widespread Panic, Charles Bradley, Dr. John, The Revivalists, Band of Horses, Marcus King, The Head & the Heart, Shakey Graves, Tank and the Bangas, Warren Haynes, Gov’t Mule, and others.

Her subsequent work includes the Fink-produced EP *Dig Down Deep* (2016), the independently released *The Bartholomew Songs* (2022), and the single “If I Die,” which was featured on *Grey’s Anatomy*. Koerner also starred in the independent film *Heart Strings* and co-wrote two songs with Jessica Simpson for the *Nashville Canyon* EPs.
