Mary Lydia Ryan

"Elegant and graceful" are typically used to describe Mary's voice and piano accompaniment. Influenced initially by severing ties from a repressive religious upbringing, the crunching guitars and darkened dingy clubs of Seattle have further inspired Mary's melodies and haunting lyrics. Mostly rotating Radiohead and Jeff Buckley in the CD player, Mary finds beauty in the darkened and textural moods found in these favorite musical influences. Mary's voice is soaring and seductive, and her delicate piano playing adds just enough colour without overshadowing. Mary captivates.
