The Folk Club of Reston-Herndon welcomes YouTube sensation Mean Mary to the Amphora Diner Deluxe (1151 Elden St.) this coming Tuesday November 17th at 7:00 pm. Founded in 1985, the non-profit Folk Club has presented outstanding performers and offers a premier listening room experience for musicians and audience members alike.
Award-winning musician/writer and fan favorite (over 40 million views on her YouTube videos), Mean Mary literally grew up in music. She evolved from a child prodigy who played for tips on the streets of Nashville (startling talent," said The Tennessean) to a seasoned performer and headliner of over 4,000 concerts.
Her latest album, Woman Creature (Portrait of a Woman, Part 2), was named Country Music Peoples #1 Critics' Choice Album of 2024, and her recording of "Wayfaring Stranger" was recently featured in the feature film Hellfire.
Deering Banjos named her their Goodtime Ambassador, and Janet Deering describes Mary's banjo playing as giving her "chills." Equally versatile on guitar, fiddle, and eight other instruments. Mary is known internationally for her lightning-fast fingers, haunting vocals, and intricate story songs. As a high-energy performer who thrives on variety and a songwriter who chooses unusual subject matter - anything from ghost pirates to demon guitars could romp through a Mean Mary show.
