Come see Mean Mary & The Contrarys live at Flat Iron Crossroads, October 19th at 6:30 pm!

Mary learned to read music before she could read words and was an official singer/songwriter before she had started her first day of kindergarten. With the help of her mom, she wrote her theme song “Mean Mary from Alabam’” (Mary was officially born in Geneva, Alabama). The press immediately baptized her with this handle, and she has been Mean Mary ever since.

Today she produces music, produces videos (her YouTube videos have received over 34 million views), tours extensively in the US and overseas, co-writes books with her mom, Jean James (their mystery novel, Wherefore Art Thou, Jane, won first place in the Reader’s Favorite International Book Awards), and Mary is an endorsing artist for Deering Banjos. The Deering’s named her their Goodtime Ambassador, and Janet Deering describes her banjo playing as giving her “chills.” Equally versatile on guitar, fiddle, and 8 other instruments, Mary is known as a high-energy performer with lightning-fast fingers and an unmistakable vocal sound … and as a songwriter that thrives on variety and unusual subject matters. There is not room here to tell the whole life story of Mean Mary, but if you would like to know more you can read her full bio on her website: https://meanmary.com/bio or just listen to her music—it’s all there.
