Mary’s Walk began in 1999 as a unique way to recognize and remember Mary Kerry Libby, a much-loved member of the Saco-Biddeford community who passed away from Burkitt’s Lymphoma. What started as a simple memorial stroll through town with a few hundred people has evolved into a major community effort.

The unforgettable voice from the Oscar-winning documentary 20 Feet From Stardom. After four decades of singing background for the Rolling Stones, Tina Turner, Chaka Khan, and Nine Inch Nails, Ms. Lisa Fischer is stepping into the spotlight at last. Hailed as “transcendental!” by The Huffington Post, Fischer’s legendary duet with Mick Jagger on “Gimme Shelter” has become one of the great moments in pop music. Ovations audiences had their first taste of Ms. Fischer when she appeared with trumpeter Chris Botti in 2012. Ms. Fischer is joined by her inventive new trio, Grand Baton, for a concert that draws from an eclectic palette of influences, putting her stamp on Led Zeppelin, Little Willie John and recasting rock anthems from her tours with the Stones and Tina Turner.
