FEATURING: MARY BARRY
Mary is a bilingual artist who has ignited audiences across Canada, the United States and abroad, moving with ease from Jazz to Blues, from performed songs to original compositions. Her music has been described as “a gold mine for collectors of original Jazz and Blues, enhanced with a “hint of fire in the voice.” Her performances include Espace Franco at the Newfoundland and Labrador Folk Festival, Le Center Culturel de St-Pierre & Miquelon, Franco Fête en Acadie, Le Festival Acadien in Caraquet, Place des Arts in Montreal, Festival du Vent, and five shows as part of the Olympic Games in Vancouver. In addition, she has sung at several jazz festivals in St-Jean, Halifax, Montreal, Vancouver, Victoria and Magnolia Springs, Alabama.
Mary est une artiste bilingue qui a enflammé les auditoires à travers le Canada, les États-Unis et à l’étranger, passant avec aisance du Jazz au Blues, de la chanson interprétée aux compositions originales. Sa musique a été décrite comme «une mine d’or pour les collectionneurs de Jazz et Blues original, agrémentée d’un «soupçon de flamme dans la voix». Ses performances incluent Espace Franco au Festival Folk de Terre Neuve et Labrador, Le Centre Culturel de St-Pierre & Miquelon, Franco Fête en Acadie, Le Festival Acadien à Caraquet, la Place des Arts à Montréal, le Festival du Vent, et cinq spectacles dans le cadre des Jeux olympiques à Vancouver.
