“Sister Mary” is the monicker used by Rhode Island native Mary T. S. Brooks. Her “elegant lyrics, mixed with banjo, acoustic guitar and bewitching melodies will hook you,” says Dirty Gerund At Ralph’s Rock Diner. Adds Mike Bucchino of Unity Records, "I’d liken her sound to a female Iron & Wine of sorts: sweet, clever, biting acoustic folk in a league of its own…she’s dubbed it Psychedelicate."
Sue Mead, a singer songwriter from Niantic, CT, whose compositions are introspective and soulful, will open. Sue has been performing for many years in and around the New London area.
