"Singing
the blues just isn't something a skinny Asian woman would do!"
Mary McPage Band
One of the
finest female Blues Singers in the Pacific Northwest, Mary Mcpage
will blow you away! When Mary opens her mouth to sing, people do
a double take. "I had to see where that voice was coming from
and I still can't believe it's coming out of you!" Influenced
by country, rock and torch, McPage knows how to sell a song. Be
it a standard or one of her original compositions this sassy singer
creates performances that range from inane to intense.
The band is smokin, but its McPage
who lights the fire. With her raw, emotionally charged vocals, she
works the crowd into a frenzy. She lets em know they
are alive and that life is good! Mary takes it from kitten to volcano
and back again. She delivers the tasty tunes that audiences have
come to expect from her.
In 1994, Mary sang with the original-alternative
band OZMOSiS. The ROCKET Magazine called the band "choice"
and stated, "Anyone who loves to hear a good, strong female
singer must hear McPage".
In 1995, Mary found the blues, or maybe
the blues found her. A blues singer was born. McPage says, "I
never want to sing any other type of music." In 1999, Mary
released an acoustic blues CD In Dog Years, with the group
BLUE HOO. The CD landed her an invitation to appear on the WoodSongs
Old-Time Radio Hour, nationally and internationally (P.R.I.) syndicated
program. Taped live and broadcast out of Lexington, KY, her humor
and original songs were a hit with the live audience.
Mary is now standing tall and lookin
fine, fronting her own band. This aint no tired jam band.
Mary & her boys fire it up and entertain all night long.
