31 Singer-songwriter Mary McBride Brings it on Home

Mary McBride and her band travel the world as cultural envoys for the US State Department and travel the USA with The Home Tour, bringing musical concerts and the transformative power of music to people where they live, whether it be long term mental health care centers, supported-housing communities, senior homes, homes for people with physical and mental disabilities or orphanages. From Portland, Oregon to the Iraqi Safe Home For Children in Sadr City, Iraq., Mary and her band bring passionate music to those who may need it most. Mary tells Ellen Goldsmith that her inspiration for The Home Tour started early in her career in NYC and was inspired by a home visit to an elderly woman in Washington D.C., who wished Mary would return one day to sing for her in her home. “I long, as does every human being, to be at home wherever I find myself.” - Maya Angelou
