Bio: Blessed with a magnificent range, Mary Fahl is an expressive, emotional singer/songwriter who is best known for the three years she spent with the October Project.
Unlike some of the female singer/songwriters who were popular in the 1990s, Fahl has never gone for a waifish, girlish approach à la Suzanne Vega, Natalie Imbruglia, or Jewel -- her soaring vocals have always been big, robust, and full-bodied.
It was in the early '90s that Fahl became the lead singer for the October Project, an East Coast folk-rock/adult alternative outfit that recorded two poetic albums for Epic: its self-titled debut album of 1993 (which Peter Collins produced) and its 1995 sophomore effort, Falling Farther In.
