Mari has been entertaining audiences with her compelling voice and signature stage presence for over 35 years. She has sung back-up for Kenny Loggins, opened for and shared the stage with Tower of Power, WAR, the Moody Blues, Travis Tritt, the Average White Band, Alan Parsons, and many others. She has performed at the Obie Awards, the Majestic Ventura Concert Theater, Santa Barbara’s Lobero and Granada Theatres, the Cabot and Chevalier Theaters, the Santa Barbara Film Festival, and hundreds of weddings and events from Massachusetts to California. Mari created DIVAS for a CAUSE concerts when she lived in Santa Barbara, CA, and this is the 4th concert with the fabulous Cape Ann Divas. A 5th-generation Rockport Native, Mari loves to travel the world, and is thrilled to be back home for this special event for Rockport Music’s Education Programs. She is humbled and awed by the talent and commitment of her fellow Cape Ann songbirds and her crack band, the Lucky Boys, and wishes to extend a huge thank you to all.
