Biography

The formation of a "band" was first hinted at in conversations between Patrick, Michael, and Mark under the Harp Tent of the Cleveland Irish Cultural Festival in July 2008. Although a promising idea, the idea quickly departed our minds due to scattered geographic locations and personal disconnects. Luckily, we found ourselves under the very same tent exactly one year later discussing forming a band - again. This time we did not let the drunken notion pass us by. We had our first rehearsal the following week and as they say...the rest is history.

Our first performance as Marys Lane came on St. Stephen's Day in December of 2009.

The name is an actual road and homage to a special place on Achill Island in County Mayo, Ireland where women by the name of Mary were seen aplenty - which included Patrick's great-granny (yes... Mary).
