About this Event
Singer/Songwriter Mary Scholz returns to The Artichoke for an evening of storytelling and song. A dedicated activist, Scholz weaves topics of our times into songs about the ways in which we move through the world. From each individual's journey to strength in community, and the importance of finding joy and laughter in our every day, join us for for an evening of lilting folk Americana songs.
*Father's Day Special*
In honor of our day-of-dads, Mary will be adding special songs that look at our relationship to the father figure, and honor those who've raised us, and those doing the loving work of raising now.
Short Bio:
Mary Scholz’s stunning voice and evocative songwriting have made her a live circuit favorite for over a decade. With her unique brand of gritty folk-charm, the Philly born, LA based artist forges a personal connection with her audience every time she takes the stage. Her 2022 record, Begin Again, produced by Jonathan Wilson (Father John Misty, Conor Oberst, Margo Price, Angel Olsen), paints a panoramic, starry landscape, addressing how we process life internally, to how we respond as a community.
Her songs have been heard charting on Americana Radio, and the Billboard Compilation Chart. Her recent release of her dark Americana interpretation of Aerosmith's Janie's Got a Gun, is in support of Janie's Fund and Operation Mend.
A dedicated activist, Mary can most often be found writing songs about the times, and hosts a weekly activism live stream called On Wednesdays We Write Letters. The weekly event provides action items for making our voices heard during this wild and crazy time, and a space to come together and connect through it all.
You can join her at noon on Wednesdays on Instagram @maryscholz
