Mary Bue is a songwriter,  international retreat guide and yoga teacher based out of Minneapolis, often roaming this beautiful world. Named Best Songwriter of 2020 by City Pages, her music touches upon archetypal themes of the human condition: love, loss, survival, dreams,  and the natural world. A longtime student of yoga and psychology, Mary weaves sacred subject matter into her songs, seeking of deeper levels of consciousness, and concern for the environment mixed into oft-crass, real-world hue.  Mary is currently working on her 9th album The Wildness of Living and Dying to be released in spring 2024. 

2020’s The World is Your Lover – produced by the Suburbs’ Steve Price – is a synthesis of her releases of the past 20+ years, merging pianos and guitars, spiritual longing, and real-world sorrow. Her previous albums achingly express life in melancholy piano-poems, yet in 2015 Mary risked a genre switch to aggressive electric guitars, concise lyricism, and a nod to 90’s grunge.

Prolific,  lyrical, and gritty,  Mary’s performances are warm and laced with quirky humor and stories of her adventures (and misadventures).  A survivor and advocate,  Mary is often invited to perform and speak about her healing process surrounding #MeToo of which she shares in her song “Petty Misdemeanor” (The Majesty of Beasts, 2017).

I love music its seems to be the only thing that clears my mind and keeps me from going insaine. This world is crazy and full of people looking to hurt you. I just try to sing about the struggles and addictions in my life, hoping that i can change others for the better. I love you all and thanks for supporting my attempt at entertaining you.
