Mary Epworth
Listen to Black Doe
With the release of her debut album 'Dream Life', Mary Epworth has emerged as one of the UK’s most exciting talents. The album’s success in blending 1960s West Coast psychedelia with gospel and dream pop has gained Mary widespread exposure, including singles ‘Black Doe’ and ‘Long Gone’ being play-listed at BBC 6 Music, a sold-out show at the Royal Albert Hall Elgar Room, and a string of festival appearances including Bestival and main stages at Hop Farm and Standon Calling.
