Aloha,

I'm in Maui now but back in Santa Barbara, CA later in September where this time I'm not only performing but also chairing (such an honor) the unplugged after party for the Wendy Jo Sperber WeSpark Chairity Golf Tournament. (Cindy Alexander we will miss you like crazy this year!) Kevin Montogomery, one of my personal faves will also be performing, yay!!.

Much mahalo to buddy Larry Thomas for helping me MC the event too, he so good. Per usual the celebs will all be out and we'll all have a great time golfing, playing music, and staying up all night at the Pacifica for Charity. It's always too much fun. Check the show page for all the details.

Also, keep an eye out for me back in CA in Nov/Dec for Laguna Beach's Sawdust Winter Fantasy (I know, yeah, Mary playing on the mainland in the winter, brrrr?  It could happen!!).

Hugs n Mahalo Moondoggies,

Mary :)

Would you like to hear Mary playing in your very own living room? You can find out all about how to host a houseconcert at http://www.houseconcerts.com/hosting.html You can have your friends over, share a little wine and pupus (appetizers), hear Mary tell her goofy stories and singing her heart out, up close and personal, full band, acoustic trio, or solo. Whatever you please.... Email Mary for more info Marycoppin@gmail.com

VIP After party for The Wendy Jo Sperber 8th Annual Celebrity Golf Classic
This is the after party for The Wendy Jo Sperber 8th Annual Celebrity Golf Classic. Wendy Jo was an awesomely caring person, who we lost to cancer. Out of her struggle, she founded weSpark, which provides free services to cancer patients and their families. I've long been involved through my friend Cyndi Alexander and I'm honored to be included on the benefit CD. The Celebrity VIP after party will also be the CD release party. If you love golf, come on out and support this great cause and see the stars too. Many jam with us at the after party too. It's a wonderful celebration of life by some very caring people.
