Live at Caffe Lena Feb. 24: ‘Cinematic Songs with a Haunting, Gothic Romanticism’

Mary Fahl performs at Caffe Lena Feb. 24. Mary Fahl performs at Caffe Lena Feb. 24.

SARATOGA SPRINGS — Mary Fahl first achieved fame as lead singer and co-founder of the mid-1990s NYC- based chamber-pop group October Project. She has since gone on to writing and recording songs for movies (including the theme for the Civil War epic Gods and Generals), singing arias and medieval Spanish songs for Sony Classical, and releasing a unique album-length take on Dark Side of the Moon.

Over the past few years, Fahl toured and recorded on her own label, Rimar Records. She will perform 8 p.m. Friday, Feb. 24 at Caffe Lena. 

The Boston Globe described hers as “a voice for the gods that can transport listeners to other realms.”

With her latest release, “Can’t Get It Out of My Head,” Fahl looks back to some of the essential music that has brought her sustenance and clarity by reinterpreting songs from her greatest inspirations the Stones’ “Ruby Tuesday,” Neil Young’s “Don’t Let It Bring You Down,” and a stirring intense rendition of George Harrison’s “Beware of Darkness,” among them.
