Mari Froes

Mari Froes brings her intimate blend of contemporary Brazilian songwriting to Phoenix Concert Theatre in Toronto on September 25, 2026. Formerly known as Mariana Froes, the artist from Goiânia shapes songs at the crossroads of modern MPB, hushed folk and a bedroom-pop sensibility. First noticed for home-recorded videos where she revisited classics and newer pieces from the Brazilian songbook, she has since built a body of originals anchored by a soft, upfront voice, agile acoustic guitar patterns and stripped-back arrangements.

Her writing leans on unhurried tempos and lyrics in Portuguese, with an ear for nuance and space that links the MPB tradition to discreet indie influences. On stage, Froes keeps the focus tight: voice and guitar leading, textures minimal, dynamics carefully drawn. Active on the independent scene, she alternates singles and one-off collaborations and brings that same attention to detail live. This Toronto date offers a clear window into her current trajectory, with music built around proximity, clarity and fine-grained dynamics.
