Sky Cries Mary
The roots of Sky Cries Mary were set when a University of Washington theatre student named Roderick decided to unite the energy of underground music with the mystique of avant guard theatre. The experiment worked and Sky Cries Mary quickly generated a massive underground following.
By 1993 the band boasted several of Seattle’s best musicians, a signed deal with World Domination Records (a subsidiary of Capitol Records) and the successful release of their first full length album “Return to the Inner Experience.”
Since Return the band has sold out countless shows in venues of all sizes, played internationally and released 5 C.D.’s including, “This Timeless Turning” (World Domination/Capitol) released in 1995, 1997’s full length “Moon Bathing on Sleeping Leaves” (Warner Bros.) and the 2005 live album “Here and Now” (HooDoo Music). Their new album “Small Town” is set to continue the phenomenon.

I used to love going to your shows back in the day at Bumbershoot and the old Mercer Arena! I moved to Olympia and haven't seen you play live in years but would love to again. You guys should come play the Capitol Theater in Olympia it would be the perfect venue for you guys!
I remember the first time I saw SCM. I was at Bumbershoot and there were a million different sounds of music coming from bands playing everywhere and people jamming...I followed this sound that I could faintly discern whithin that cacophony...to a building, down the stairs, and finally to a stage. It summoned me.
