Mean Mary Ignites a Sold-Out Night at Troll Music
Troll Music — Venice Beach, FL | January 24, 2026
Mean Mary delivered a high-energy, sold-out performance at Troll Music on a Saturday night, turning the intimate Venice Beach venue into a tightly packed, fully engaged room from the first song forward. The setting proved ideal—close quarters, attentive listeners, and an atmosphere that rewarded both musicianship and momentum.
Mean Mary rips through a rapid-fire banjo run, fingers a blur while every note lands clean and controlled.
Mean Mary commanded the stage with precision and stamina, shifting seamlessly between guitar, banjo, and fiddle while maintaining clear, confident lead vocals. Her playing emphasized speed and articulation without losing control, and instrumental passages were integrated naturally into the flow of the set rather than isolated as showpieces. Transitions between instruments were efficient, keeping the pacing intact and the audience focused.
Mean Mary drives the rhythm on acoustic guitar as Fawn Holley locks in on upright bass and Vince Spino powers the groove from behind the kit.
Fawn Holley anchored the low end on both stand-up and electric bass, adjusting tone and feel to match the arrangement. Vince Spino’s drumming remained tight and responsive, adding drive without overwhelming the acoustic textures central to the band’s sound. As a trio, they maintained steady forward motion, balancing technical execution with crowd awareness.
Mean Mary leads on fiddle while Fawn Holley anchors the stand-up bass and Vince Spino smiles from behind the drums, keeping the rhythm steady.
The audience responded enthusiastically throughout, with sustained applause and visible engagement building as the night progressed. The performance felt energetic but disciplined—musically sharp, physically dynamic, and well-suited to a venue that thrives on connection and clarity.
