Mae Karthauser is a British songwriter with a rich, acrobatic voice and a distinctive yet unplaceable songwriting style. Raised in a musical family, her debut performance came in 1990, aged 5, when she sang a solo as a policeman on the village hall stage.
With “The Midnight Fairground” and in collaboration with European circus companies, she's played whilst harnessed of the edge of BBC Television studios, whilst dangling of an old engine and whilst flying over the French alps in a paraglider, as well as multiple solo tours in France.
As the world plunged into lockdowns in 2020 new songs with a diferent feel began emerging; back to her roots, to melody, simplicity and fragile honesty. With flautist Ronja Schlumberger and cellist Ben Roberts they have explored the edges of their instruments. These new songs dance childlike through tender, magical and dark terrain and explore both experimental and simple organic tones. Inspired by the likes of Albin De La Simone, Agnes Obel, Joni Mitchell and Nick Drake (and somehow rather unlike any of them).
