I had the great pleasure of being introduced to Mary Haitz during "Women'N'Blues" set of NYS Rhythm'N'Blues Festival - 2003 on 7/18/03 in the Persian Terrace at the beautiful Syracuse Hotel. Mary is the first homegrown Woman of Blues to have her music up at Nadeau Music and still travelin' around the Northeast. Mary has a great voice and passion for the Blues and her band has great rhythm.
