Mary Lemanski - Black & Blue

“Speechless” is a mix of instrumentals in various genres.  Mary takes the listener on a musical journey without words, touching on World, Classical, Jazz, Rock, and even Hip-Hop.  The album begins with the Middle Eastern-influenced, “Morning Sun,” and ends with the contemporary-sounding, “Bye Bye Choo Choo.”  There is even a two-piano duet, entitled “Looking Back,” which Mary composed at age 12. 

Hippie Hop

Morning Sun

Chicago-area songwriter and multi-instrumentalist Mary
Lemanski makes her first foray into rap music with her
brand-new single “Pound To The Beat” on Painted Girl
Records, which will be released November 22nd, 2019. The
track displays yet another layer of her profoundly creative
musical life, one that’s already included classical music,
punk rock, and singer/songwriter efforts. “Pound To The
Beat” is a fully-woke statement from a politically progressive
and involved woman who isn't afraid to speak her piece over
an old-school hip-hop beat. It’s a breath of fresh, intelligent
air that’ll take you to school and make you dance at the
same time. “Pound To The Beat” by Mary Lemanski needs
to be the very next song you hear. It’s a strong new single
from one of the Midwest’s most irresistible artists.

Daddy's Little Girl

Vocalist/songwriter/multi-instrumentalist Mary Lemanski’s first gig came at age 11 when she filled in for the organist at her Catholic school’s church for a funeral. She was pulled out of class, aced the service, got paid $40, and was set on the path to becoming the musician she is today. These days, Mary is a fully-developed Pop/Rock/Alternative artist in her own right, excels at keyboards, vocals, drum programming, guitar, and bass, and writes songs that have been compared to Blondie, Tori Amos, and Carly Simon. She’s been releasing original music online since 1999 and shows no sign of slowing down, with a new single, album, and summer tour planned for 2020. Her unique style blends Pop with Alternative, Rock, Hip-Hop, Jazz, Blues, Funk, and Punk and those in the know feel she’s about to break out to a much larger audience. 

In addition to being an artist, Mary has worked extensively in the music industry, including stints at Epitaph Records, BMG Entertainment, Clear Channel Radio, Razormaid.com, Songsalive!, Warrior Girl Music, and Rhino Staging. She holds a Music/Business Administration degree from Millikin University, a certification in Audio Engineering from the Conservatory of Recording Arts & Sciences, and an MBA in e-Business from the University of Phoenix, as well. 

Music has always been part of life for Mary and she intends to keep it that way. She draws inspiration from iconic performers like Ramones, Tori Amos, They Might Be Giants, and Whitney Houston but maintains a strong artistic vision that elevates her work to its own creative space. She hopes that listeners find meaning in her songs the same way she found it in her influences, which is the greatest thing to which any artist can aspire. Mary Lemanski is one of the most compelling emerging musicians in the ever-competitive Chicago music scene and belongs in the ears of anyone needing a new favorite song.
