Mary Jane Ballou performs professionally on the Celtic harp and wire-strung salterio, bringing to these instruments her conservatory keyboard training and a love of all types of beautiful music. Mary Jane plays a repertoire ranging from sacred chant melodies to a synthesis of Irish, classical and New Age that is all her own. Currently based on St. Augustine, Florida, Mary Jane is available for performances throughout the Southeast U.S.A. She is sought-after as a wedding harpist because of her wide repertoire and willingness to work with couples to make the music as special as the day.
Her current and upcoming recordings are available online at her website or from CD Baby. "Ancient City Harp: Songs of St. Augustine" delivers over 400 years of music in just under 40 minutes. From chant to popular wedding music, you can enjoy a sonic trip through the nation's oldest city. "At Midnight in Bethlehem" is a gentle Christmas album of carols from around the world that recaptures the wonder of Christmas Eve in a noisy world.
When she's not performing or exploring new works, Mary Jane also produces and hosts the Classical Fan Club, a weekly radio show featuring music "off the beaten track" on Flagler College Radio, WFCF St. Augustine 88.5 - Radio with a Reason!

Blind Mary IS one of my favorite tunes I have played for years! Thank you for this lovely rendition. (Love violin and harp!). Thanks for all your help!
I've really enjoyed listening to your music and wish you the best concerning the future. However, right now, I'd like to ask a small request. Could you give my new Celtic-inspired track, RACING THE WIND, a listen and let me know what you think of it? Feedback is the only way for me to truely grow and develop as a musician.
