Experience Maggie Koerner live in Atlanta on November 4, 2026 at Smith's Olde Bar in the Atlanta Room. Maggie Koerner (rhymes with Turner) is a New Orleans based singer & songwriter currently on tour.

Maggie Koerner is a singer, songwriter & actress from New Orleans by way of Shreveport, Louisiana. Right after getting her bachelor’s degree in psychology from LSUS, Maggie caught the attention of Brady Blade who produced her debut album, Quarter Life (2011). Shortly after, Koerner moved to New Orleans and wrote, produced & recorded her sophomore album, Neutral Ground (2013). In 2014, Koerner had the opportunity to take over as the front-woman for Galactic, gaining international attention for her fiery performances and commanding presence touring alongside Widespread Panic, Charles Bradley and Dr. John. Her songwriting and vocals are featured on Galactic’s albums Carnivale Electricos (2012) and Into The Deep (2015), both of which feature singles she co-wrote with David Shaw, “Hey Na Na” and “Dolla Diva."

In 2015, Koerner left Galactic to focus on her music again which has included a string of festival performances including New Orleans Jazz and Heritage Festival, Austin City Limits & Pemberton Music Festival. Maggie has gone on tours opening up for The Revivalists, Band of Horses, Marcus King, The Head & The Heart, Shakey Graves, Tank & the Bangas, Warren Haynes, Gov’t Mule & more.

As her momentum continued to grow, Koerner reached out to the UK-based singer/songwriter Fink who wanted to collaborate with her through his R’COUP’D imprint via Ninja Tune. The result, an EP titled Dig Down Deep, was released in 2016 and showcased an ever-evolving Koerner. Fink’s sparse production emphasized the intensity of her

vocals creating an intimate, yet powerful listen. The album was well received by CLASH Magazine who proclaimed “Koerner is rather special talent...” and highlighted her “remarkable sense of depth and songwriting...”

Koerner continued to tour, signed a publishing deal and eventually began to work on a new album, collaborating with a variety of artists and producers to pen 11 songs recorded in New Orleans. In 2019 & 2020, a series of singles were released including the searing “If I Die”, which was featured in ABC’s Grey’s Anatomy. Koerner’s LP “The Bartholomew Songs,” was released March 2022 independently.

In October 2022, Maggie spent a month in Louisville, KY filming and starring in an independent film, “Heart Strings” (2024). Maggie recently co-wrote 2 songs with Jessica Simpson on her recent albums Nashville Canyon EP Pt 1 & 2.

Koerner’s latest album, UPSTATE, is out now. She & Ajai co-produced this 12-track album in New Orleans.
