Sounding like no other singer of her generation” (Allmusic.com), Mary Fahl is an expressive, emotional singer/songwriter who first achieved fame as lead singer and co-founder of the mid-1990s NYC-based chamber-pop group October Projet. The hallmark of their sound was Mary Fahl's awe-inspiring power vocals over gorgeous melodies played with passion and sophistication. Since the band disbanded, Mary has released several compelling albums, including the fantastic reworking of Pink Floyd's "Dark Side of the Moon" for V2 Records. She has also written and performed songs for several major motion pictures, including the lead song (“Going Home”) for the Civil War epic "Gods and Generals." Mary's elegant, cinematic songs draw on classical and world music sources, American art song, as well as thinking man’s folk-pop she performs with an earthy, viscerally powerful contralto that Boston Globe critic Steve Morse calls “a voice for the gods that can transport listeners to other realms”. Along with her music director, virtuoso instrumentalist Mark Doyle on electric guitar and piano, and members of Syracuse-based Grupo Pagan, her performance will include “Exiles”, a song written for Anne Rice’s new audiobook “The Wolves of Midwinter,” a stunning cover of the Joni Mitchell classic “Both Sides Now," and many October Project favorites.
