On Monday, September 9th, Nashville-based singer/songwriter multi-instrumentalist (vocals, guitar, banjo, violin, viola, mandolin, bass, keys, saxophone, trumpet, dulcimer, castanets & percussion) Mean Mary James (www.meanmary.com) will be performing for SJARMS.
Mary is somewhat of a musical prodigy—she could read music before she could read words and co-wrote songs at age five. By age seven she was proficient on the guitar, banjo, & violin, and entertained audiences across the US with her vocal and instrumental skills. Her life has been one long road show interspersed with TV, radio, and film. She has recorded 12 CDs and performed on more than 500 live TV shows and over 4,000 road shows—including national festivals, fairs, cruises, colleges, theatres, clubs and house concerts.
Mary will be performing her unique blend of original and traditional music in the intimate and totally acoustic setting of the Medford Arts Center, 18 North Main St., Medford, NJ. Doors open at 7pm. Cost is $10 (free to SJARMS members!)
Coffee and light refreshments will be available. As always, an acoustic jam will follow the performance and refreshments.
