A wise man once said, "Talking about music is like whistling about chickens." But if we have to try and tell you what Mare (pronounced Mary) and her music is all about we'll give you two words: Progessive Folk. The recipe isn't hard to follow. Start with a base of Joni Mitchell to create the petal soft/wailing banshee voice. Add two parts Bob Dylan for the intelligent lyrics and refreshing rhymes. Mix in a tiny bit of Loretta Lynne and Crystal Gayle for somedown-home twang. ...and finally, top with a sprinkling of Sinead O'Connor for the modern edge and soulful delivery. Serve hot!
