Mary Fahl will perform at the New Hope Winery, 26123 Lower York Road, New Hope, at 8 p.m. Feb. 11.
Fahl is 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, but Fahl had 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 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.
Now she returns with “Can’t Get It Out of My Head,” a collection of songs that she calls “essential” to her development as an artist … “Most of these covers come from the first albums I ever bought using one of those Columbia House ‘get 12 free albums for a $1’ mail order programs. I played these records endlessly … and the lyrics on many of these songs still have a powerful resonance for me.”
