Mary Henderson & Geoff Shannon

Original music played the old-fashioned way — by hand.


Mary and Geoff are quite likely the most prolific singer/songwriter duet in the Upper Midwest. Mary has won a slot in the International Bluegrass Music Association’s first songwriters showcase in Louisville, Kentucky, as well as multiple honors at the Walnut Valley Festival in Winfield, Kansas. She writes songs, plays guitar, and sings. Geoff has won flatpicking guitar contests in Kansas, California, Colorado, and Texas. Geoff writes instrumentals for guitar and frailing banjo, sings and does a good bit of the arranging for Mary’s songs. A performance will include old-time country, alternative country, waltzes, country blues, ballads, honky-tonk, flatpick guitar tunes, and frailing banjo tunes.
