Mallory SanMarco Debuts At Noon Concert

SHEFFIELD VILLAGE, OHIO – May 20th marks the first noon concert  
appearance of Cleveland
area singer/songwriter Mallory SanMarco. Mallory brings with her one  
of the most eclectic
collections of original music that has ever graced the French Creek  
Nature Center stage.
Moving effortlessly between deeply personal ballads and fall-down  
funny songs inspired by
keen social observations, she has entertained audiences in venues as  
far ranging as the
Winchester in Lakewood to Ohio Music in Kent. Whether playing the  
Beachland or the Beck
Café, the Barking Spider or Wilbert’s she has shared her music with  
enthusiastic audiences
throughout the region and on the east coast.

“Mallory was one of our featured acts,” says Rick Fortney, Directory  
of TrueNorth Cultural
Arts, “at our Sheffield Pride show last September and it’s great to  
have her back as part of this
concert series.”

Bob Sammon, host of the concert series, agrees. “I’ve been watching  
Mallory grow as a
performer and develop her talent as a singer over the last few years  
and I'm very pleased we
are able to feature her at French Creek. She has an ability to craft a  
great song that can speak
to the heart or elicit a deep laugh. There are several of her songs,”  
Sammon says, “that I must
have heard a dozen or more times now that still make me smile when I  
hear them.”

After years of hosting an open mic at the Book and Bean in Berea,  
Mallory moved on to host
a weekly event at the Caribou Coffee Shop in Rocky River. The demands  
of hosting a weekly
event helped her hone her performance skills and working in coffee  
shops has proved to be a
source of inspiration for more than a few of her songs. She has  
appeared as an opening act
as well as a featured performer all over the area, has been featured  
on local TV shows like
Random Acts of Music and has had her music featured on local radio and  
on the internet.

As always, the noon concert is a free event and is open to the public.  
During the concert,
the Eight Note snack bar will be open for those interested in a light  
lunch or refreshments.
