Maren Doughty is a Boston-based folk singer-songwriter originally from Northern Michigan, where she grew up by the shores of Lake Superior. Surrounded by a landscape of forests and water, she found early inspiration in playing in nature. Her exposure to folk festivals as a child led to an early dive into songwriting, exploring connection through music, and following her honest, playful, and emotional sound.
Maren began singing, songwriting, and playing guitar at a young age, always drawn to the joy of creative collaboration. Maren performs solo, as part of the vocal trio Stereo Three, and with a full band of close friends. She is working on a debut project of songs written over the last few years, set to release in the summer of 2026.
​​
As a co-founder, Maren and some of her close friends created One Roof Sessions, a house show venue and video series project for local artists around the Boston area, hosting artists in their living rooms. When she’s not making music, Maren loves exploring visual and textile arts, experimenting with new recipes, running, and spending time outdoors with her sisters. Maren is in her final year at Berklee College of Music, where she is studying Professional Music with concentrations in American Roots Music and Music and Health.
