"These two organizations are close to my heart. I had the honor to perform twice this past Summer in Maine at the Travis Mills Foundation, a retreat for injured veterans that provides programs to help rebuild and strengthen our heroic men and women and their families. The Unquiet Professional is a local organization that supports Gold Star and surviving families, Veterans, and military families meaningful and purposeful opportunities to heal from war," says Mary Pierce. "This performance is a way to honor all those who serve and protect our nation and support their loved ones."
This past Summer, The Portsmouth Maritime Folk Festival and WICN Folk Revival Radio presented Mary with one of the top songwriting awards for one of her original songs. Mary is finalizing her 4th album of originals and her soothing, clear voice with Celtic-type qualities has been compared to Sarah McLachlan, Natalie Merchant, Enya, and Joni Mitchell. Pat Mangan has performed in over 30 countries and is also a regular featured guest at New York City's most renowned traditional Irish music sessions.
