Mary Flower  The Giving Tree Band 
MARY FLOWER is a premier Fingerstyle Acoustic Blues Guitar player in Portland, Oregon. Working in both the intricately syncopated Piedmont fingerpicking style and her own deeply bluesy lap-slide guitar, Mary is the only woman in history to twice place in the top three at the legendary national Fingerpicking Guitar Championships. She has seven critically acclaimed CDs and five instructional DVDs to her credit. Mary was nominated for 2008 Blues Handy Award, and her newest CD is titled Bridges. THE GIVING TREE BAND is an original string band from Chicago playing acoustic folk, world-americana, outlaw bluegrass, and progressive olde-tyme. Using songwriting and performing as a vehicle for community service, the band’s mission is to inspire a culture of sustainability and peace. The Giving Tree Band perform with instruments that have been reused or built from naturally fallen trees and reclaimed woods, and their music is produced with renewable energy and packaged with 100% recycled materials. The band will also be featured in the new John Dillinger biopic “Public Enemy” starring Johnny Depp, and have begun recording the 'world's greenest album' to be released in the Spring.
