Mary Neil (also affectionately known as Moonshine Mary) is a singer/songwriter, born and raised in the heart of Appalachia, though she now lives  in beautiful Teton Valley, Idaho.  She has been singing, playing piano, and  accompanying herself on guitar since childhood, and started writing songs in her teens.  Her songwriting reflects her honest nature, touching on love, loss, her love of nature and her perspective on the world.  Her style is simple and poetic, and her angelic voice evokes strong emotion in her audiences. 

Mary Neil will be spending the Fall '11 in Nashville, Tennessee...Keep in touch for southern tour dates!

White Lightning Invitational- Tuesdays in Jan., Feb., March     4:00-6:00pm

Mary Neil started the White Lightning Invitational in the winter of 2009 to bring musicians together in a friendly environment is entertaining to skiers and visitors at Grand Targhee's Trap Bar.  Her vision was to create an open mic that features quality folk, americana and bluegrass for an "apres ski" crowd. Currently in its third year, the White Lightning Invitational has become a local mid-week social event and an outlet for closet musicians to try out their musical talent.  Full sound equipment is provided, and acoustic instruments are often available.
