Mary Fahl of OCTOBER PROJECT With Opener Gregory Douglass

“Mary Fahl has a voice for the gods” —Steve Morse, The Boston Globe "Sounding like no other singer of her generation" (Allmusic.com), Mary Fahl is an expressive, emotional singer/songwriter who first achieved fame as lead singer and co-founder of the chamber-pop group October Project. Fahl's elegant, cinematic songs draw on classical and world music sources, American art song, as well as thinking man's folk-pop. She sings in an earthy, viscerally powerful contralto that Boston Globe critic Steve Morse calls "a voice for the gods that can transport listeners to other realms." Since her "October Project" days, Fahl has recorded solo albums for Sony Classical and V2 Records. She has written and performed songs for several major motion pictures, including the lead song ("Going Home") for the Warner Bros. Civil War epic Gods and Generals. Opener Gregory Douglass has a passionate, evocative style that has been compared to Tori Amos, Jeff Buckley, Fiona Apple and Rufus Wainwright.
