Marblehead Morning
Daring & Stahl: 50 Years in Harmony
Director
2026
Editor: Bill Ayedelott
Marblehead Morning looks at the careers of singer-songwriters Mason Daring and Jeanie Stahl and their half-century journey as both a New England Folk duo and as independent artists.
The centerpiece of the film features nine studio songs performed live at Q Division in Cambridge, Massachusetts, with five long-time musician collaborators
Duke Levine, Kenny White, Richard Gates, and me on drums.
Gus Sebring of the BSO added a French horn, and Suzanne Boucher on vocals (also my wife)
Jeanie and Mason’s story is centered around nine songs from the studio sessions. Daring and Stahl are key figures in the rich folk tradition of New England, with roots going back to the legendary Club 47, a coffeehouse in Cambridge, Massachusetts, that became Club Passim
Mason has produced dozens of albums for his own label, Daring Records, and has composed music for over 75 films, including 17 for director John Sayles, as well as countless television series and specials.
Jeanie has recorded four solo albums, contributed to Mason’s soundtracks, and partnered with her husband, John Jacobsen, in shaping the development of museums and IMAX theaters worldwide. She also Co-Executive Produced an Academy Award-nominated IMAX Film
