Why Go:

Witness the extraordinary talent of Mean Mary at Cafe Eleven, where this “child prodigy turned virtuoso” delivers a masterclass in Americana, folk, and bluegrass. A dazzling multi-instrumentalist, Mary James is renowned for her lightning-fast banjo work, intricate fiddle playing, and a hauntingly beautiful vocal range that she remarkably reclaimed after a life-altering accident. Set in the intimate, seated atmosphere of St. Augustine Beach’s favorite listening room, this performance offers a rare chance to see an independent powerhouse who blends storytelling with world-class musicianship.
