Mamie Minch
Mamie Minch is a longtime staple of New York’s acoustic blues scene. Listening to her sing and play is like unpacking a time capsule of American music stored in her 1930s National steel guitar for decades and filtered with a modern femme sensitivity. Mamie writes and performs songs and blues that bridge between herstorical records and contemporary city life, and she especially loves performing material from women musicians through time. Mamie’s last album, Slow Burn, is a collection of songs that were slowly simmered onstage before being committed to wax and highlight her long-time collaboration with percussionist Dean Sharenow. She also restores and repairs guitars as one half of Brooklyn Lutherie, one of few women-owned and operated shops in New York City.
