Mary-T has been playing guitar, singing, writing songs and living the experiences for those songs for some time now. From the jungles and beaches of Mexico and Hawaii to European city streets, to her own backyard, (which is currently a horse pasture), Mary-T is always on the lookout for her next inspiration.
She started off playing a used $35 dollar Harmony Archtop guitar her Dad bought for her. She soon progressed to a Strat copy and was jamming with neighborhood boys on a stage her Dad built in the garage. No wonder she feels so at home when she's on stage.
Playing in a series of bands followed in San Diego, California. After honing her rhythm guitar skills behind guy lead players, Mary decided to step up and take over on lead. Her rhythm experience served her well and she incorporates both in her playing for a full, rich sound. During this time she also started singing and writing her own songs. Both her singing and her songwriting blossomed as she racked up more and more experience.
Seeking greener pastures (literally) Mary re-located to Southern Oregon which is still her home base. She released her first CD of original songs "Cut Me Loose."
Mary's currently putting the finishing touches on her second release and booking a tour in support. The music's coming out a lot different this time around.
