Mary is a shining light in Adelaide’s folk scene, combining her vocal delights with catchy, offbeat guitar picking and a swig of poetry. With ties to both Adelaide and Melbourne, Mary has spent much of the past few years travelling between the two, with her latest album Love Like Planets proving a spectacular body of work that explores the complexities of modern relationships and personal rediscovery.

PLUS The making of ‘Love Like Planets’ After each Mary Webb concert, producer Mike Kirkham will deliver a presentation on the making of ‘Love Like Planets’, using the original ProTools multitracks recorded at SnowGhost Studios (pictured) in the mountains of Montana. Find out what makes an album great! Between shows find Mike in Magenta Audio’s Room 403.
