10pm- Mary Westlake
Genre: Folk, Indie, Rock
For Fans of: Regina Spektor, CocoRosie

"It’s hard to really classify singer/songwriter Mary Westlake. Her dreamy vocals are haunting and her style is a perfect blend of relaxed comfortability. But Mary isn’t signed to a label, and in all honesty you’ve probably never heard of her. You get a Zooey Deschanel slash Regina Spector vibe at first listen, but the comparisons quickly drop once her own uniqueness sets in." -Serial Optimist ----http://www.serialoptimist.com/interviews/an-introduction-to-mary-westlake-7496.html
