This highly anticipated live show is one of a very select number of gigs that The Mary Stokes Band are performing during 2023, following the extraordinary international
success of the band’s two recently released albums; the award winning ‘Comin’ Home’ in 2021 and ‘Let ‘Er Roll!’ in February of this year. The Mary Stokes Band have just released an album recorded live with a five piece brass section ‘The Mourning Horns’. For Howth Mary will be featuring her stripped back, Chicago style Blues band sound delivered with her usual power and authority. A festival highlight not to be missed!
