Potluck Album Launch w/ Maggie Alley and The Rayes

Drawing inspiration from 60s and 70s rock, folk, and Melbourne dole wave, Potluck is a collaboration between four singer-songwriters who arent afraid to lay all their feelings out on the dinner table. Like the name suggests, their set is diverse, casual, and intimate.Their debut album Out The Back is packed with fat harmonies, jangly guitars, and open-hearted reflections on grief, heartbreak, wistfulness, and the general state of thingsthe good and the bad.

Maggie Alley is a songwriter, multi-instrumentalist, and vocal powerhouse with an unfiltered view of life around her. She has an ingrained habit of shaking the world by its hairy, devilish horns when she has something to say which is often. Maggie is Punk, rock, blues, folk and everything in between. A preternatural songwriting talent recognised early by collaborators like ARIA winner Matt Walker (producer of her first EP) and renowned Australian vocalist Dallas Frasca, long-time Melbourne music scribe Jeff Jenkins took to ABC radio to compare her to a young Patti Smith

Superimposing melodies atop lilting harmonies and melodic basslines, the Melbourne-based, Seattle-born group recalls themes of identity, yearning, and witty reflection to sweeping emotion.

The band is led by sisters, Jordan and Rebecca Stobbe, whose vocals and harmonies have been compared to Joni Mitchell, Fleetwood Mac, and the Indigo Girls. With music described as the soundtrack to a wistful journey (The Luna Collective), their songs impart a sound both spirited and endearing. Unafraid of showing a range of emotions, their performance spans from translucent honesty to sarcasm, and swelling harmonies to good ole rocking-out.
