Mackenzie MacBride describes herself as a “Music Diarist” and a “Heart Music Singer". She performs a memorable show that audiences will remember long after they've left the venue. As someone who hasn't always been given a fair chance, people seem to be inspired by Mackenzie's honesty delivery of story and emotion. With her unique singer/songwriter vibe, she touches on the genres of alternative pop, country and soul. If you give it half a chance, and let go of conventional ideas of Top 40 singing, you might enjoy the wit and the honest confessions of her "draw your own conclusions" songs, which meld together personal reflections, philosophy and pop culture. Each song is it’s own curiosity and includes MacBride’s special splash of NYC Glamour and pinch of Nova Scotia sea salt. These story songs talk about themes we can all relate to including, heartache, hope and carrying on with life even if you’re missing a shoe. With her simple music, Mackenzie communicates with Lou Reed-esque honesty, not cliché. Singing with an ethereal female-countertenor voice, Mackenzie basically sounds like an angel who's been banished from heaven. Once a real carnival star and cruise ship entertainer, Mackenzie mixes the gritty truth of Twisted Sister, the Glam of Blondie and the innocence of Kate Bush to create a sound that gives audiences a chance to both laugh and weep. Like a coffee stain on a wedding dress Mackenzie and her music are unusual, controversial, and full of human imperfection. She calls her Outsider art, "Heart Music." With her music, Mackenzie wants to show everyone, "the beauty that lives inside the bizarre." Every time Mackenzie gets on stage she wants to inspire both you and herself to live with pride-of-self. Mackenzie MacBride is not a novelty act, a circus clown, a comedy routine or a joke. She is an original who reminds us of the days when "punk" was an expression of the acceptance of outsiders. She is an experienced performer. And an underground artist. Several live shows are on You Tube. Search: "Mackenzie MacBride" Mackenzie's new EP, An Outsider's Heart, is now available on ITunes.
