Born in Wellsville New York on the banks of a river that flows North, songs have always just come through Mary. A jumbo 12 string and the early influences of Heart, Joannie Mitchell, Joan Armatrading, and CSNY blended into a unique musical sound which has been further cultivated with Blues and Jazz influences. This new CD marks her first solo recording effort after bands in Santa Fe, New Mexico and Ithaca, New York. She is captivating, lyrically deep, powerful and unlike anyone you’ve heard. Some songs are close clear and sexy like a Nora Jones, some wailing blues like Bonnie Raitt , others with a clear pop appeal like Sheryl Crow, all original, but familiar as they cut across musical tastes with a wide appeal. A huge artistic talent with songs like photographs.
