Her Story - of the Blues
Returning the spotlight to the point of origin, Mari-Trees embarks upon a sonic mission to restore recognition.
Presenting music of the trailblazing women who pioneered the blues, conceived rock & pop, and were then - promptly forgotten! Music from the Mississippi Delta - to the clubs of Harlem - to your local Petrol Station.
Enraged by erasure and colonial continuity, this one-woman-warrior determines to dismantle the shelves of history, revealing the genesis of rock music in the legacy of these early blues women.
Featuring Mari-Trees on all instruments. Tap, clap, hum & sing along!

Presented by: Musical Chairs and Mari-Trees
Mari-Trees (MT) was born to a social activist opera junky and a concert pianist.
She decided early on to do whatever it takes to stop Gilbert & Sullivan permeating her brain, trying very hard to not become a musician. However, fate would have it that pianos continued to fall in front of her. She’s lucky to be alive!
Having escaped to remote regions of the world to steep deep into the musical traditions of West Africa, West Coast Ireland and the West Wing of the Elder Con Jazz School, MT continues to be obsessed with the nuts and bolts of music; writing, and creating in blues, soul, folk and world genres.
Through piano, percussion, guitar and vocals, MT delivers a raw sound that is compelling and original, providing homage to the early blues musicians.
