Mean Mary rolls into town with lightning in her fingers and thunder in her voice. Armed with banjo, fiddle, and guitar, she delivers a show that’s feel-good, full of surprises, and steeped in rhythm and story. Her songs travel from toe-tapping tunes to shadowy Southern Gothic ballads, all delivered with heart and grit. She’s joined by her brother Frank James—equal parts guitar slinger and wisecracking sidekick—and bassist David Larsen, who holds down the groove while the siblings stir up mischief. It’s a night of music, laughter, and just the right touch of mystery.

Award-winning musician/writer and fan favorite (over 38 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 4000 festivals and concerts (“the voice of a ragged Angel combined with the banjo playing of the Devil” says No Depression).

Deering Banjos named her their Goodtime Ambassador, and Janet Deering describes her banjo playing as giving her “chills.” Equally versatile on guitar, fiddle, and 8 other instruments, Mary is known internationally for her lightning-fast fingers, haunting vocals, and intricate story songs. As a high-energy performer that thrives on variety and as a songwriter that chooses unusual subject matters, anything from ghost pirates to demon guitars could romp through a Mean Mary show.
