On stage, she holds back nothing and captivates her audience with a unique blend of edgy, yet soulful pop music.

Mary Arden combines the honesty of John Mayer, the style of Sheryl Crow and the passion of Ani DiFranco! Mary has shared the stage with such artists as David Crosby, Lucinda Williams, 1000 Maniacs and many more!! Her impressive list of performances, appearances and showcases over the last four years prove truth to the rave review of one University correspondent – “Mary is one of the best college performers ever!”
