Saturday Nights on Phinney Ridge

Maria Dunn

General Admission: $14
$2 off for SFS & PNA members and seniors, kids half price

Let’s get one thing straight - Maria Dunn is not a singer-songwriter. Yes, she’s a singer. And yes, she writes songs. But Maria belongs to a tradition as old as time itself. Her songs tell stories about real events and people. Like Woody Guthrie, she brings characters from the past and the present to life in original music that pays homage to her Celtic roots and Canadian upbringing.

Originally born in Scotland, Dunn's family moved to Ontario, Canada, when she was still an infant, and then to Edmonton when she was 10. "I really think that my music is a result of the influences I've experienced in my life," she says. "Obviously the Celtic influence comes a bit from my background, but I also grew up with my dad playing Johnny Cash and Lonnie Donegan songs, and country blues stuff, so I think there was a Western influence there as well."

We are pleased to have Maria Dunn return to the Phinney Neighborhood Center stage for this Seattle Folklore Society concert.
