She released 3 CDs as a solo artist (and has material for another 3!) and In addition, performed and recorded a CD as a member of the trio Estrogen.

Open Mic via Zoom: Marylyn Coffey
2025-03-22 19:00 - 21:30 | Zoom
Marylyn Coffey came of age in the Folk era of the 1960s, performing with friends in cafés and coffee houses in and around Boston, but never thought of taking herself seriously in that milieu. Now in her Golden Years, as a former hippie, graphic artist, art publicist and university art department manager, she is doing all the things she didn’t have time for until now. Always a poet and writer, she started writing songs in 2020.
In the 1980s Marylyn moved to Huntsville, Alabama to finish college. Singing and playing harmonica in a local Americana cover band in the 1990s was fun, a new thing for Huntsville at the time. Marylyn first started solo performing on open mics online during COVID, while writing songs at a rapid clip. She switched to ukulele from guitar, which may have been a mistake, but it’s too late now! The four strings of a ukulele lend themselves to the strange chord progressions that Marylyn comes up with.
Marylyn performs at open mics in town and occasionally at farmers’ markets or during studio tour nights at the “alternative” arts center. In 2022 she released an all-originals CD called Can’t Feel a Thing, and is presently working on another one. She’s also written 20 plot-related songs for a musical called Muddleville, based on a short novel she “accidentally” wrote last year. How that project will be shared remains to be seen.

Dave Feroe was born and raised in Poughkeepsie, NY, and attended Arlington High School and Dutchess Community College. Dave began playing guitar at the tender age of five. He was in the local Rhinebeck band Destiny in the early 90’s, and performed at the Chance in Poughkeepsie three different times with the Dave Feroe Project.
Dave’s soulful tenor voice is beautifully complemented by his unhurried touch on guitar, which brings out the magic of the instrument to create a truly unique sound.
Dave is active in the Veterans community, and has lent his musical talents to many Veterans events over the years. Dave’s time in Viet Nam and his love of family both inform much of his music, creating a depth and an authenticity that never fails to captivate listeners.
