When intelligent lyrics meet a unique musical style, the results are powerful. Performing Songwriter Magazine named Mare Lennon's debut CD "Chasing Sacred" a Top Twelve DIY in May 1999. A native of St. Paul, Minnesota, Mare Lennon grew up surrounded by music. Taking the varied influences of jazz, folk, and rock, she has woven these colors along with life experiences into songs that possess imagination and heart. Whether backed by a band, or more preferably, acoustic solo, audiences respond in kind to this new voice on the L.A. singer/songwriter circuit.

Performances include: the OXYGEN Tank Tour, the Durango Songwriter's Expo, the Freemont Theatre's "Listening Room Concert Series", the National Academy of Songwriter's "Acoustic Underground" at the Troubadour, Billy Block's Western Beat (Nashville and Los Angeles), and featured performer on "Local Licks" a showcase for talent on L.A.'s KLOS FM 95.5. Mare was also named a national finalist in the Wildflower Music Festival songwriting competition in Richardson Texas, and the Wintertide Songwriting Contest in Martha's Vineyard.

We were thrilled to have Mare open for Caroline Aiken on this special Saturday evening. She perfromed a short but inspirational set and got our night off to a great start!
