Mary Bue with batteryboy $15 at the White Squirrel

Mary Bue is a songwriter, Nada yogi, traveler, runner, vegan, retreat guide, and teacher based out of Minneapolis, often roaming this beautiful world. Named “Best Songwriter” of 2020 by City Pages, her newest album The World is Your Lover - produced by the Suburbs’ Steve Price - is a synthesis of her seven-plus releases, merging pianos and guitars, spiritual longing, and realworld 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.
