Which one's Mary?
Well, there is, actually, no Mary Dyer in the band...
Funny story..... the reason Mary Dyer came about is, remember that time back in 2020 when there was this global pandem......yeah, you remember. Everything was shut down including music venues, bars, restaurants so these long time band members had no where to play and people had nowhere to listen to live music. That was until, Mandy and David decided to step out onto their driveway with just an acoustic guitar and two voices and about 12 people in the audience, all masked up and socially distanced. They decided to call their good friend, drummer Chris (Pat Benetar), Bill Cinque, (Neil Diamond). The crowd grew each week and more players were added including guest performers. Before they knew it, hundred's of people were coming out every Saturday night to dance in the street. They spread to the cross street of Mary Street. So now we were "ON THE CORNER OF MARY AND DYER" hence......The Mary Dyer Band. We're now so cool, we like to just be called Mary Dyer coz, you know....it's cool...
Here's a cheeky, little link about the time we got recognized by the mayor for keeping up community spirits.
So, now you know!
That time we made it on to abc7 Eyewitness News for a Labor Day Street Party in 2025 and Dallas Raines (or D, as we call him) gave us a shout out! Aaahhh the good ol' days!
