Mary Flower and Leon Cotter
Merging two formidable talents, Meredith Carson of KGNU Radio, Boulder, CO, says “Mary Flower’s masterful, yet comfortable, virtuosity melds with Leon Cotter’s smooth, wide-ranging improvising to give us a complex, fascinating take on two brilliant musicians at the height of their powers. This duo is magic!”
Internationally renowned award-winning Portland, Oregon-based singer/guitarist/songwriter is a prodigious talent whose seasoned skills have established her as one of America’s foremost roots performers, in the Piedmont acoustic blues tradition, with additional stops at ragtime, swing, folk, and hot jazz.
Saxophone/clarinet player Leon Cotter has led a varied musical life, spending much of the last decade touring the country with soul/blues band The California Honeydrops, while maintaining a reputation as a sought-after sideman and bandleader in Portland’s local jazz scene.
