First show since since July 25, 2013 • First Amsterdam show since June 26, 2013 • 27th show on MN Live's calendar since April 28, 2009

Mary Bue
From Minnesota
First Twin Cities show since since May 7, 2013 • 22nd Twin Cities show on MN Live's calendar since October 8, 2006

Mary Bue likes creaky clanky pianos and falling asleep playing guitar. She wants to sing to you about what she's cooking for dinner or what she dreamt about last night. Sometimes carthartic, sometimes joyous and always bittersweet, this newly transplanted minneapolitan is making a soft winter nest of music for you. Blend the sound of Ben Folds' joyous piano pop, Carole King's earthy soul and Tori Amos' quirky, intense intimacy and you'll get an idea of what Miss Bue sounds like. Read more on Last.fm
