Mary Rocap Music and Wine Social
Thursday, August 27, 6PM - 8PM
$14 in advance / $18 at the door

The staff of 3CUPS knows Mary Rocap as their bookkeeper and supplier of fresh eggs but she is known in the wider community as one of the founders of SomeThyme Restaurant the first successful vegetarian restaurant in Durham, a singer-songwriter, and a bread & quilt vendor at South Estes Farmers Market.

Mary will bring 3 breads to 3CUPS to be paired with wine and will set up to perform from 6:30-7:30 as well as bring some of her quilts for display.  Mary learned to bake from watching her Mom and Great-grandmother ‘Fiddy’ bake the week’s bread when she was growing up. She has continued that tradition of baking for her family but her family is now expanded to include the customers of the Market.

Mary received a Fellowship from the NC Arts Council for her songwriting (grant year 2001-2002) and was a finalist in the 2008 NC Songwriters Co-op Song Contest.  She has recorded 3 CDs and performs regularly on her own or with her band-mates and Lise Uyanik and the Mobile City Band.  Her writing draws heavily from the traditional roots of folk and gospel. Purchase price for this wine social includes a CD to take home.  For more information about Mary’s life and work go to www.maryrocap.com.
