Bio

She was caller 11 on Detroit's hit radio station WDRQ winning all of the Beatles albums from legendary disc jockey China Jones. At the station on 8 Mile Road in Detroit, the closet doors opened and her sixth grade arms were loaded up with the entire Beatles discography. Back at home, she dropped the needle on side one of Revolver on her blue Panasonic record player and at that the moment she was hooked. Growing up in 70's Detroit and learning from the radio jocks of America's first underground radio stations was all it took for Mary to pick up the guitar and learn her first Neil Young and Led Zeppelin tunes. Once she started, her appetite for acoustic rock guitar was fueled.

Loads of guitar lessons, gigging solo and stints in bands with like minded musicians writing and recording led her to rack up miles on the highways across America. She suddenly found her writing songs about where she was, what she saw and what she was doing from her perspective gleaned in the Upper Midwest.

Moving from the Midwest to the East Coast and back, Mary found that each place had a different sound that influenced her writing - from the rock influences of industrial Detroit to the gentle folk rock influences of the waves on beaches of Martha's Vineyard to the rhythm of the horses clipping along on the streets of Mackinac Island.

Currently, she is collaborating by writing, performing and recording in her bands Blood Sisters and Calamity Jane.
