Mary and the Giant

Artist Information

Biography

Michael and Jason worked together at Cracker Barrel in Columbia. When the subject of music came up, they decided to get together and jam with the other guys Jason played with. They had never had a violin player before and were intrigued. The rest of the group did a tour at small venues last year before they met Michael. That pretty much changed things up as far distinctiveness. Michael was the last one to stop his education at Missouri University in order to pursue their career in music. At this time they all work regular jobs, but that will all change as they take the world by storm, of course.
The band has different stories as far as background and influence, but they have gelled into something raw and unique in the world of…well, whatever kind of music it is. Pop/folk? Well, listen to them. You’ll want to have them for a show. You will enjoy the listen.

Instrumentation

Zac Fiddis: Vocals
Jason Koch: Acoustic Guitar
