About Mary Read

Mary Read mixes electronic sounds and beats with the mournful melodies of Nordic folk music. They take inspiration from dark ambient, EBM, traditional Swedish fiddle tunes and many other genres. 

During 2019, Mary Read has toured in Sweden and Germany with their new project Dunsany Dreaming, where they combine poems by the early 20th century author Lord Dunsany with original compositions and Swedish folk melodies. 

They can also be heard as guest artists on the upcoming album of Rozalind MacPhail, a Canadian flutist and electroacoustic performer, currently nominated for ECMA’s “electronic recording of the year”.

Are you interested in booking Mary Read for a venue or festival, or maybe even thinking about organizing a house concert? Drop us a line or give us a call - we'd love to hear from you!
