8pm- Mark Rogers & Mary Byrne
Genre: Avant folk
For fans of: Sad pop and joyful blues
In this collaboration, Mark Rogers & Mary Byrne trade the hum and buzz of the band for the stark openness of acoustic work. Mark’s guitar, mandolin, and National steel meet Mary's elegaic lyrics and baritone guitar. Before this, Mark was multi-instrumentalist with Brooklyn indie-folk band The Loom and Atlanta's renowned Myssouri. Mary was singer and guitarist for Atlanta rock trio Hot Young Priest (Two Sheds Music). Together, the two play music that's strange yet beautiful, poetic yet frank, unassuming yet serious.
“Mark Rogers’ slide guitar screeching like souls in Hell.” – Pitchfork
“Mary Byrne’s voice is easily as sexy, seductive and catchy as any influential female rock singer who came before.” – PopMatters
