WALTON — Mary Fahl and her band will perform in concert on the main stage at Walton Theater at 7:30 p.m. Saturday, April 13.
According to a media release from Music on the Delaware, Fahl is described as an expressive, emotional singer/songwriter who first achieved fame as lead singer and co-founder of the mid-1990s NYC-based chamber-pop group October Project, a band known for its lush harmonies, sweeping melodies and Fahl’s unique and powerful vocals.
After two records on Epic, the band disbanded leaving Fahl with more freedom to pursue her own muse, whether that meant writing and recording songs for movies (including the theme for the Civil War epic “Gods and Generals”), singing arias and medieval Spanish songs for Sony Classical or releasing a reportedly unique album-length take on “Dark Side of the Moon.”
Over the past few years, she’s been touring and recording on her own label, Rimar Records, and her recent releases have garnered awards including an Indie Acoustic Award for Best Live Album for “Live at the Mauch Chunk Opera House” (filmed for PBS) and a 2020 Independent Music Award for her recent holiday album, “Winter Songs and Carols.” Her Blu-ray 5.1 surround DVD, “From the Dark Side of the Moon,” brilliantly mixed by Bob Clearmountain, won the 2021 Immersive Album Audio Listener’s Choice award and was named “Immersive Album of the Year” by Life in Surround.
Now she returns with “Can’t Get It Out of My Head.” In an effort to find some light and comfort during challenging times, singer/songwriter Fahl looks back to some of the essential music that has brought her sustenance and clarity by reinterpreting songs from her greatest inspirations … Pink Floyd, George Harrison, Moody Blues, ELO, The Rolling Stones, and Neil Young. For Fahl, this is a tribute to the music that defined her as an artist.
Tickets may be purchased for the in-person and livestream concert at www.musiconthedelaware.org and at select retailers.
A brief intermission will include an opportunity to win door prizes.
