There's a great little music scene going on in the Sierra Madre Canyon two nights a week, and it all happens at MARY'S MARKET & CAFE at 561 Woodland Ave. "Taco Tuesdays" offer yummy tacos & burritos and on Saturdays it's homemade pie and ice cream, along with live music from a growing roster of local musicians and friends, under a majestic oak tree.Pictured here with me this week is FAITHANNE, the gal who books all the music at Mary's, and another new friend I have made through this Music News hobby of mine! Please keep in mind that she and all the other talented artists that perform at Mary's are "playing for food" and your tips - and show your appreciation generously!
Note: The music generally starts at 6:30pm. Look for specific listings here, as they are confirmed, or call: 626-355-4534.
