“A good song is a good song. It doesn’t matter who sang it, or what genre it falls under.”
At eighteen, Mary Clare is a Texas country artist carrying the storytelling of the genre's greats into a sound built for right now.
Since taking the stage at eight years old, Mary Clare has performed throughout Texas as well as in Branson, Nashville, Oklahoma, Washington D.C., and New York, developing a style rooted in authentic storytelling and a lifelong love of country music.
Along the way, she's opened and performed for some of the most respected names in the genre, and shared the stage in duets with Jennifer Nettles of Sugarland and Linda Davis, known for her iconic duet with Reba McEntire, “Does He Love You,” and as the mother of Lady A’s Hillary Scott. She's recorded original music in Nashville at both eleven and seventeen years old, sharpening her artistry in the heart of country music.
Influenced by both classic country legends and today's hitmakers, Mary Clare performs a blend of modern and traditional country while accompanying herself on guitar and piano. She's a dedicated songwriter, passionate about honest stories that connect with audiences of every age.
“I love a George Strait, George Jones, or Merle Haggard song for the storytelling. I'll play a Willie Nelson song and then sing an Elvis song right after. A good song is a good song, no matter who sang it or what genre it falls under.”
