TICKETS / SUGGESTED DONATION
For tickets or suggested donation, we ask that you consider contributing to Mary’s Kickstarter campaign (more details below).
If you’ve already contributed to the Kickstarter, you can edit your pledge or “add on” another item. If that all sounds confusing, no problem, cold hard cash also welcome! And no one who is invited is turned away for lack of funds.
About Mary:
I've been a performing songwriter since 1998 and am about to release my 9th album in February 2025! I play piano, guitar, and write heart-felt, cathartic, indie rock. In 2020, was even City Pages "Best Songwriter" - unexpected and grateful for that award!
Linda & Paul have so graciously offered this house concert as a support for releasing my next album, "The Wildness of Living & Dying." Putting out an album on your own is a pretty huge endeavor, and quite expensive. Record labels invest $100,000 (at the low end!!) to get new music off the ground, which is something I definitely don't have at this time! And thus, I have launched a crowdfunding campaign through a platform called Kickstarter to raise funds to get this album out into the world.
"Ticket” Info
With this Kickstarter campaign, you can pre-order the new album, buy a t shirt, vinyl, yoga class, and other "rewards" as they call them, or just donate at whatever amount feels right if you don’t want a “thing!”
For the house concert, as a "ticket charge," we are asking that you would kindly support Mary’s Kickstarter campaign at any level before October 20th.
Suggested concert ticket scenerio
Typically a house concert would be about a $30 suggested donation to the artist, however, no one will be turned away for lack of funds. IF the Kickstarter is not fully funded (it is all or nothing, eek!), your card will not be charged and then you’d get a free party (unless you decide to donate post-party!) The campaign ends on 10/28.
Let us know once you've contributed (again, you are beloved to Linda + Paul, so please know if you are invited, there is no need to purchase anything!), and once we have your name on the list with your contribution, we will look so so forward to seeing you!
Again, if you’ve already contributed to the Kickstarter, you could log back in and update your pledge or purchase an “add on” reward. Alternatively, if you'd just like to give a cash donation or venmo, kindly do so to Linda and we'll be so grateful you can make it!
If you have any questions about this, I am so happy to answer them. Truly so grateful for your support and consideration in bringing this album to life in a bigger way -- and you, my friends, will be my "record label!"
Cannot wait to serenade you on October 20th! Big love, Mary, Linda & Paul ❤️
