Sounds Like
Someone once told me that I sounded like a cross between Laura Nyro and Aretha Franklin. Of course, I took it as a compliment. That someone was Vala Cupp. Rest in peace, Vala.
Raised in a little town in New Jersey called Lodi. (Yes, that same town as the Misfits) My family name is Tamburo, which literally means "drum" in Italian - but because I used to wear a lot of black clothes (hey, that's what musicians do) some friends started calling me "Mari Mack", and it 'stuck"...so, for over twenty years, most people who know me as a singer, know me as "Mari Mack" Grew up listening and singing to my dad's jazz and big band music minus one records/old school karaoke until my siblings' musical preferences crept into my brain - a mixture of rock and soul - I discovered the blues when I realized that my favorite Zeppelin tunes were really blues covers. So I guess you could say that my heart and soul leans towards what I guess American Roots music - blues, jazz, soul and funk - got to groove me to move me....
Mary, how's it going? Can't believe it's been several months since the anniversary party at Rancho Nicasio. Fun night and it was good to see you out there. I hope things are going well. Stan
