Branch of KDL. Chat with other music fans, hear some of your favorite local musicians and get introduced to your next favorite band—all while hanging out at the library.

Mari Simone will perform in the library at 1:00 PM. R&B soul singer Mari Simone, music has always been more than just sound—it’s been a sanctuary, a form of storytelling and a sacred space for healing. Known for creating music that heals the soul, Mari brings a unique blend of smooth vocals, poetic lyrics and spiritual depth to the R&B scene.

Growing up, books and music were her escape, her imagination’s playground. “Reading and music has always been my way of building a different world for myself,” Mari reflects. So, when she was invited to perform at the library, it wasn’t just another show—it was a full-circle moment. “To be in a space where stories live and come alive, and to now share my own through music—it’s like bringing that childhood dream into reality.”

Mari Simone’s performances are more than just concerts—they’re intimate experiences wrapped in soul, spirit, and sound. Don't miss out on her performance at Vibes Fest!
