Mary has written and recorded 4 albums: Miles Away, Dublin Bay, Hideaway, Memory Road and is launching her 5th album "Warrior," which brings a compelling force of the strength and courage of women being warriors of love and hope. “I had a vision to launch a monthly Singer/Songwriters’ series to bring the community together and share the extensive talent of local musicians." " I am so happy it has come to fruition and has been so well received by all who have attended! "Mary has been performing with her sister, Margi (harmony and piano) for several years and recorded the first album together called "Miles Away.” Mary and Margi’s beautiful, unique and seamless vocal blend is often referred to as ‘the third voice” and their sister bond is captured in each song. Margi and Mary perform regularly in the New England area along with the full band (fiddle, guitar, Irish whistle, piano, harmony)-Women Folk band. As their musical collaboration continues to organically evolve, they feel joy and gratitude each time they step on the stage together. Mary would like to personally thank all the South County folks coming each month to enjoy the At the River Songwriters Series! It has been a joy to get to know you all and see community and friendships building through music! Margi Gianquinto (www.margisings.com) Margi, (Mary’s sister), is an accomplished jazz singer, pianist, music educator, and choir director with a diverse musical background. Her love of harmony and her multiple talents are artfully blended into each of her projects across many genres-from folk to jazz. Margi divides her time between teaching, performing, and residencies with her jazz band in the Connecticut and NYC area. Margi graduated from Providence College with a degree in music (classical piano/choral) and humanities. “It has been a joy to sing/play with my sister, Mary, and see the growth we have experienced together in bringing the songs to their fullest.” Thank you! See you At the River on Feb 29th!
