"Mary Shapiro has a powerful gift to transform any gathering into something sacred - blending songs of peace with joy and laughter to give you the taste that 'another world is possible'."

- Jean Stoken, policy director for Pax Christi USA

Inspired by artists from Joan Baez to Jack Johnson, Mary's music infuses many genres: gospel, folk, rock & soul. She's shared her musical talents with orphans in Berlin, headlined in Japan, and sung for peace in Washington, DC. Mary has recorded with Sweet Honey in the Rock and was the first ever recipient of DC Acoustic Underground's "Excellence in Local Music Award".

Mary's first CD is a collaboration of professional artists, musicians and kids. Captured LIVE at a benefit concert by and for Little Friends for Peace, it's a fun, educational, sing-a-long CD.

"Every time I listen to Mary I am astounded by how much of herself her songs manage to carry. When a song is finished I am happy to say that our souls have truly shared a moment. "

- Tom Goss, Independent Recording Artist
