Mary is a 2008 Blues Music Award Nominee for "Acoustic Artist of the Year," and is renown for a uniquely personal vision of roots music that blends ragtime, acoustic blues and folk styles. She boasts more stylistic diversity than just about any other artists currently performing under the 'acoustic blues' banner. Working in both the intricately syncopated Piedmont fingerpicking style and her own deeply bluesy lap-slide guitar, Mary Flower has earned raves from critics and audiences alike for her springwater-clear vocals and guitar mastery. As the only woman in history to twice place in the top three at the legendary national Fingerpicking Guitar Championships, and with eight critically acclaimed CDs and five instructional DVDs to her credit, Flower is in demand for festivals, concerts and guitar workshops on both sides of the Atlantic. You may have heard her on Prairie Home Companion, E-Town, or BBC Radio. She has taught workshops (online now too!) in many places including Fur Peace Ranch, Swannanoa Gathering, Steve Kauffman's Acoustic Camp to mention a few. We are so fortunate to have her here! You can read more about Mary at her website AND you can listen to a few song samples below.
