OFFICIAL BIO: Mary is a singer/songwriter whose music is sweeping the nation with its heartfelt melodies and lyrics. Singing since the age of four and writing since about fourteen, her music is a blend of lyric folk and rock with a bittersweet twist that puts her in a category all her own. (But aren't we all in categories of our own?) Growing up singing in church, Mary's voice resonates with a clarity and emotion that engages her audience at the first note. Having recently completed her training with a BFA from the University of the Arts, Mary is spending her time playing gigs all over the country. In addition, Mary recently kick-started her own independent record label, Ringlet Records, and has released her second EP. Mary is also an actress, and can be found doing work on independent films and theatre - look for her! "Mary says it herself" Bio: Hi there - Mary here - thanks for checking out my page. As you can see, I am a singer/songwriter based in Philadelphia, but I travel all over, playing shows and meeting people of all kinds of backgrounds. I love my job. I grew up in Havertown, PA, am one of three children to my two musically inclined parents, and have been singing since I can remember. Even as a kid I remember being fascinated by all things music - my parents both played instruments (piano and guitar...so that's where I get that from...) and provided the music at our church - so that's where I got my start as well! Like any fine-arts loving teenager I was a proud member of the marching band (on flute and eventually as drum major - love for band dorks everywhere!), sang in the choir, participated in the school shows and occasionally wrote for the school newspaper. After high school I attended The University of the Arts in Philadelphia, majoring in Musical Theatre and loving every second of the intense music/acting/dancing training. Since graduation in 2006 I have been traveling from city to city, spreading my love for music wherever I can. I've also appeared in a few plays and films along the way, including Iano Film's production of "The Matter With Clark" which was recently a part of the New York Independent Film Festival, as well as the Fallbrook Film Festival. In 2007 I released my first EP, "Philadelphia Nights," which is available online at CB Baby, iTunes, Napster...you name it! I've just released my second EP, "The Beauty of It All," on Sunday October 5th, 2008, as the first release on my self-started record label, Ringlet Records. Please give my music a listen and pass it on to anyone who you think would enjoy this folk/rock vibe. Every listener counts! Thanks so much for your support!
