Wake Up Tri-Counties Mean Mary is Coming to Levitt Amp Galva Music Series

Multi-Instrumentalist and songwriter, Mean Mary is bringing her brand of Americana to the stage in Galva on Sunday, July 23rd. Mean Mary, aka Mary James, could not be any nicer in person as she joined Wake Up Tri-Counties to talk about music and play a couple songs on her remarkable banjo. As the youngest of six kids in a family that moved from the deep south to Minnesota as a kid, you can imagine that music became a way of finding consistency in a strange life filled with travel. You can hear both southern and upper Midwestern influences in Mary's work on her numerous records, the newest of which is called Portrait of a Woman Pt. 1.
