Mary Krause has been supporting songwriters for two decades wearing an eclectic variety of hats as a manager, publicist, booking agent, grant writer, and all around Gal Friday. As the behind-the-scenes partner in Toronto Songwriting School, she handles the marketing and logistics and plans our getaway trips. At Getaways, she mans the kitchen, cheerfully accommodating dietary restrictions, and keeps everything on schedule so songwriters have plenty of time for writing and plenty of time to relax and have fun. In between trips, she spends far too much time planning future getaway swag bags.
