Meet Martie Maguire
Martie Maguire, the older sister of Emily Strayer, is a luminary in the music world, renowned for her instrumental and vocal prowess.
Born on October 12, 1969, in York, Pennsylvania, Martie embarked on her musical journey at a young age, playing classical violin by the age of 5.
As teenagers, Martie and Emily were part of the Bluegrass band named “Blue Night Express.”
Martie, alongside Emily, co-founded the all-female alternative country band The Chicks (formerly The Dixie Chicks) in 1989. Their musical journey, alongside former members Robin Lynn Macy and Laura Lynch, evolved with the addition of Natalie Maines in 1995. The current lineup has solidified its place in the music industry.
Martie’s exceptional talents extend beyond The Chicks, as she is also a founding member of the country bluegrass duo Court Yard Hounds. Her contributions to the world of music have been recognized with awards in national fiddle championships during her teenage years.
In the cinematic realm, Martie and The Chicks made their mark with two songs featured in the 1999 film “Runaway Bride,” including the co-written “Ready To Run.”
Martie’s personal life is as dynamic as her musical career, marked by marriages to Ted Seidel (1995–1999), Gareth Maguire (2001–2013), and her current husband Clem Moore.
She is the proud mother of three daughters: Eva Ruth Maguire, Harper Rosie Maguire, and Kathleen Emilie Maguire.
