The Jist

Delighted to join the distinguished stable of Stanwood artists, The Jist checks its rock and roll reputation at the door to deliver cherished songs in the purest form: Dressed-down vocals and guitar.

The Jist (better known as Mary O'Reilly and Dave Patrikios) has been promoting the 20th-century musical canon for decades. In Philadelphia bars, Mary's voice found strength in everything from The Supremes to The Smiths. In New York City clubs, Dave chiseled his chops playing everything from loud rock to, well, louder rock.

Performing selections that will incite nostalgia and feverish iTunes downloading, The Jist will be appearing behind the hedge at Stanwood May 7, 2011. And we couldn't be happier about that.
