Hello friends

It has been a long time since we gave news. A few things happened these last years :

As you know, the Mary-Lou band released a new cd "Jusqu'à demain" in november 2021.(Bandcamp here)

Lately we recorded some of the songs of this album in english : "Untill tomorrow". 

We are honored to say that two great american musicians played on that record :

Tommy Detamore : pedal steel guitar on "Les rêveurs" ("Dreamers") and "Passer le temps" ("Time go by").

and Arvid Smith, our long time friend : dobro on "Fin août", tampura and harp on "Nuit d'automne" ("autumn night").

Maybe you'll remember that The Hoboes duet (Mary and Jean-Luc) recorded in 2015 a duet album "Southern sessions" with many of our good fellows in the USA. It is now available on Youtube and Spotify and most of the legal online platforms. 

Since the beginning of 2008, you are able, wherever you are, to order Mary-Lou cd's and dvd's on line.

With PayPal, it is quick, safe and easy.

Just have a look on our online store. Prices are low, and there's a free poster of the band for each order.

Mary-Lou band is:

Mary (vocals, acoustic guitar, washboard, fiddle, kazoo) and Jean-Luc (vocals, acoustic and electric guitar, slide guitar, dobro, harmonica)

with :

Stephane Dhondt (keyboard, vocals harmonies) and Benoit Perset (drums or bass)
