about the home tour

August 12, 2010 -- As part of the release of Mary's new album "The Way Home," Mary and her band were on THE HOME TOUR this past summer and have just wrapped up dates that took them all across the country. Hailed by Elle Magazine as "one of the year's most influential music moments and the most altruistic tour of the summer," THE HOME TOUR was a musical tour of "places people call home" - including supported housing communities, long-term health care centers, homeless shelters, homes for people living with HIV/AIDS and homes for people living with mental and physical disabilities. They played for the elderly in Washington, DC; for Navajo families living in supported housing in New Mexico; for children in the Treme' district in New Orleans; for a farm worker community in rural Washington State; for veterans recovering from injuries and living indefinitely at a VA hospital in Long Beach, CA. And these were just a handful of their stops. The band partnered with not-for-profit organization in each city which hosted the community-based concerts. The videos below represent many of these organizations and the tremendous work they are doing to improve the lives of people every day. Plans are underway for THE HOME TOUR to take place again in the summer of 2011 with expanded partnerships, and a wide roster of artists from around the country. All developments will be posted here, so stay tuned...

    Granger, WA – July 26 “Rural” in New York vocabulary means the Union Square Farmer’s Market, the dog park at Washington Square Park, or if you are feeling very ambitious, a spin around the 6 mile periphery of Central Park. I know all about these rural spots, as I worked in the farmer’s market at [...]

    Oakland – July 23   So many people have asked me how these shows come together. In many cities, we have known exactly the partner we wanted to work with (Skid Row, for example) and in others organizations we had never heard of came to us through friends or colleagues who had heard about the [...]
