Marry Waterson comes from an illustrious singing family from the Northeast of England. She made her first appearance when she was just 12 years old on the album ‘A True Hearted Girl’ (Topic Records) with her mother, Lal, and aunt, Norma Waterson. Although there are echoes of her mother’s singular voice, Marry’s is as unique and daring as they come. Often collaborating with various writers, musicians, and producers, she stretches the boundaries not only of folk but of songwriting itself. Waterson has been releasing music on One Little Independent Records since 2010, with her debut album, ‘The Days That Shaped Me’ receiving widespread praise, including a nomination for the 2012 BBC 2 Folk Award. In partnership with the Barbican in 2013, Waterson curated a tour revisiting Lal & Mike Waterson's landmark 1972 folk-rock album, ‘Bright Phoebus’, performing alongside family, Jarvis Cocker, Richard Hawley and more. Also a talented artist and filmmaker, Marry designed and produced ‘Teach Me to Be a Summer's Morning’, a book and CD celebrating the works of Lal, released on Fledg'ling Records. Waterson collaborated with guitarist, David A. Jaycock and producers, Neill MacColl and Kate St. John, and in 2015 released her third album, ‘Two Wolves’, which was nominated for two BBC Radio 2 Folk Awards. This was followed by ‘Death Had Quicker Wings Than Love’, released in 2017 and produced by Portishead's Adrian Utley. Her fifth album, ‘A Window To The Other Ways’, was co-written with award winning singer Emily Barker in 2019. Most recently, Waterson made up one third of Hack-Poets Guild (with Nathaniel Mann and Lisa Knapp), who in 2022 released ‘Blackletter Garland’, inspired by historic broadside ballads found in the Bodleian Library in Oxford.
