Featuring award-winning Southeast Texas songwriter Mare Wakefield on guitar and Turkish-born, classically-trained Nomad on piano and accordion, the husband-and-wife team has been called “Cozy brilliance…the merger of Natalie Merchant, Shawn Colvin and Dolly Parton” by the Louisville Observer and "Lovely-a little bit old country, a lot contemporary folk" by the New York Times. Mare & Nomad are former Kerrville NewFolk Finalists and Falcon Ridge Emerging Artists, and had an original song featured in a 2017 Lifetime TV Movie. They are currently touring in support of their latest record, Time to Fly (2018), which was the #2 record for the month for February 2018 in the Folk DJ Radio Charts.

Mare and Nomad will be performing October 2 at 7:00 pm at the Unitarian Universalist Fellowship of Silver City, 3845 N. Swan Street, just north of the PNM building. Suggested donation is $10, but no one will be turned away. Proceeds will go to No Más Muertes, (No More Deaths) a humanitarian organization based in southern Arizona, dedicated to stopping the deaths of migrants in the desert through various means.
