"Mercy Now"
July News
Sundays w/ Mary Continue
We have really enjoyed spending our Sundays with you over the past two months. During this difficult time, it's meant so much to us to connect with you and my songwriter friends every week. So, we're going to keep them going! This week, we welcome my good friend Lori McKenna. Lori and I have known each other since our open mic days in Boston 25 years ago, so this will be a beautiful reunion. Lori's career includes GRAMMY Awards, ACM Awards, CMA Awards, and more cuts than I can count. You don't want to miss this stream.

Boy George Sings "Mercy Now" for Rolling Stone
06/29/2020
Boy George sang "Mercy Now" for Rolling Stone and I cried. His understanding of the song and his ability to truly SING it...wow! Honest to goodness, he nailed it! Also, his eye shadow is simply THE BEST. Have a listen.
NEW NEW NEW! September Master Classes
Strictly limited to twenty songwriters, in these classes Mary will listen to songs, and offer feedback and encouragement to every participant. She will listen to your song, and provide a deep dive into the mechanics and art of songwriting using your unfinished song as a way of finding teachable moments that will put songwriting tools in the toolkits of every member of the class. Increasing the number of tools you have in your toolkit is the fastest way to becoming a better songwriter. Mary has twenty years of experience working with songwriters in this way, and her book “Saved By a Song” is coming out in August 2020 on St. Martin’s MacMillan Press. This is not a lecture class, it is a hands-on, student participation workshop taught in four ninety-minute sessions. You will walk away with information that usually takes decades to figure out.
Watch Mary's socials for enrollment announcement.
