Mary Hood

MARY HOOD IS A RISING VOICE FROM A DIGITAL GENERATION SINGING ABOUT OLD SCHOOL THEMES LIKE LONELINESS, LOVE, LOSS, AND LONGING. INFLUENCED BY FOLK, 90S ALT ROCK, MIDWEST EMO, PUNK, AND JAZZ, SHE IS DRAWN TO BRUTALLY HONEST STORYTELLING AND DISSONANT MELODIES. DRAWING INSPIRATION FROM SONGWRITERS AND BANDS LIKE BIG THIEF, FIONA APPLE, ELLIOTT SMITH, AND TALKING HEADS, SHE CAPTURES DIFFICULT EMOTIONS AND SPECIFIC LIFE EVENTS IN VIVID DETAIL, WITH A RAW, ETHEREAL VOICE AND FINGERSTYLE GUITAR. HER MUSIC HAS AN ABILITY TO BRING YOU TO THE PRESENT, WHILE YEARNING FOR THE PAST. MARY’S BAND MEMBERS INCLUDE CHRIS CURTIN, BRIAN HART, AND BILLY COUGHLIN.
