Mary Maguire

New Hampshire singer-songwriter Mary Maguire returns to the Coffeehouse after seven years. Maguire is looking forward to sharing warm songs of the season with the Coffeehouse crowd. Long-time lead singer of The Mary Maguire Band, and co-founder of Sweet, Hot & Sassy!, Mary has taught many workshops at music festivals and been a guest artist on other musicians' recordings. More recently returning to her academic roots, Maguire is currently teaching Spanish and French, and yes, her guitar comes out in the classroom as well!

Of this return performance show, Mary says, "I remember the welcoming Andover Coffeehouse folks! I can't wait to HEAR them on the 15th!" as she looks forward to encouraging singing along with some familiar seasonal songs.

Holly Furlone

As far back as she can remember, Holly Furlone has loved to sing.

Growing up on the Seacoast of New Hampshire, everything in the world around her was music. Windshield wipers and blinkers transformed into beats and rhythms. Diverse landscapes inspired her imagination. Thoughts developed into words that brought forth poems which eventually became lyrics.

During a summer job at a sleepaway camp when she was 18, Holly picked up her first guitar, learning enough chords to set some of those early poems to music. Over the next 10 years, she dabbled in songwriting and playing, eking out creative time between the demands of a career in education and becoming a mother. In 2013, Holly was able to shine some light back on making music, and she eagerly ventured out to open mics, sharing her original songs and connecting with local musicians.

As a singer-songwriter, Holly is a storyteller. Her heartfelt lyrics are brought to life by a passionate and commanding voice, tuneful acoustic guitar, and connected on-stage experience. Holly’s live shows take on an intimate listening room feel. She plays solo shows in venues of all sizes, and especially appreciates settings that provide an environment for directly connecting with people.
