Mare (pronounced Mary) Wakefield's music resides in the wide-open spaces between contemporary folk and alt-country. Mare is a storyteller, and a fine one at that. Her stories will take you on a journey from cross-country road trips to home-sweet-home, from failed relationships to forever love. Her voice has been called "Oregon cafes, small Texas towns and twangy Nashville rolled into one" (Cranky Crow, Seattle WA), but we like to call it "beautifully moving." If there's such a thing as the "real thing," Mare Wakefield is certainly it.
