It wouldn’t be a stretch to say Mary Lattimore is one of few experimental harpists in the world. The combination of her Lyon and Healy Concert Grand Harp and effects allows her to produce a very rich, full sound in a solo setting.
A native of Asheville and current resident of Los Angeles, Lattimore has played with artists such as Thurston Moore, Steve Gunn, Kurt Vile and Sharon Van Etten. She’s also worked on numerous soundtrack projects in the past few years.
You can catch Lattimore in a rare concert at The Asheville Mason Temple on Friday, March 17, at 8 p.m. Ahead of that show, she performed a song exclusively for Xpress and Acoustic Asheville at The Grey Eagle during a recent tour stop.

We share your inclination to get the whole story. For the past 25 years, Xpress has been committed to in-depth, balanced reporting about the greater Asheville area. We want everyone to have access to our stories. That’s a big part of why we've never charged for the paper or put up a paywall.
We’re pretty sure that you know journalism faces big challenges these days. Advertising no longer pays the whole cost. Media outlets around the country are asking their readers to chip in. Xpress needs help, too. We hope you’ll consider signing up to be a member of Xpress. For as little as $5 a month — the cost of a craft beer or kombucha — you can help keep local journalism strong. It only takes a moment.
The comments section is here to provide a platform for civil dialogue on the issues we face together as a local community. Xpress is committed to offering this platform for all voices, but when the tone of the discussion gets nasty or strays off topic, we believe many people choose not to participate. Xpress editors are determined to moderate comments to ensure a constructive interchange is maintained. All comments judged not to be in keeping with the spirit of civil discourse will be removed and repeat violators will be banned. See here for our terms of service. Thank you for being part of this effort to promote respectful discussion.

yup
She’s amazing! I look forward to seeing her at the Masonic Temple, and she also has a show at the Mothlight on April 19th.
