About The Mary Dream

Since their fated meeting through a classified ad in a San Francisco newspaper, singer/songwriter Elise Bellew and songwriter/multi-instrumentalist Blake Ryan Dayton have been a prolific songwriting team, working meticulously to create their own unique sound and style of vibey alternative pop/rock. From a profound and moving dream Elise had comes the name The Mary Dream. Elise's distinctive voice and impactful lyrics join together with Blake's tasteful chords and unique guitar layerings to create some of the most moving, yet melodic alternative pop/rock emerging today.

Beautiful World was The Mary Dream's first, official, full-length release on their own label SuperUniverse Records and was recorded almost entirely at home by Blake and Elise, except for the drum tracks, which were recorded by top Nashville session drummer Steve Brewster (Jewel, Faith Hill, etc). The record was mixed and mastered by producer Richie Biggs (Switchfoot, Nichole Nordeman, etc) at The Art House in Nashville.

Beautiful World is a collection of 11 bittersweet and compelling songs that are dreamy and melodic. From the optimistic title track Beautiful World, to the hauntingly beautiful Say My Name, this record is a must for listeners who are seeking to be moved in a deep and genuine way. Since it's release, numerous songs from Beautiful World have been used in Film & Television, with prominent placements including "How You Love Me" on ABC's All My Children, "More" on MTV's Real World Denver, and "Stay" on MTV's Real World Hollywood.

This Kind of Life is the long awaited follow-up to The Mary Dream's critically acclaimed full-length debut Beautiful World. On This Kind of Life, The Mary Dream takes their signature vibey sound to a deeper level. Staying true to their DIY roots, the entire record was written, recorded and produced by The Mary Dream alone. This Kind of Life delivers 11 ultra vibey songs that pop, rock and chill - this time with a fuller, richer sound than anything The Mary Dream has delivered before. Instead of filling out the sound exclusively with guitars, multi-instrumentalist Blake Ryan Dayton added bittersweet piano riffs, lush ambient synth and some very cool drum programming - all this combined with Elise Bellew's distinctive ethereal vocals to create the unique sound that The Mary Dream has become known for.

This Kind of Life was mixed by 5-time grammy winner F. Reid Shippen (Matt Kearney, India Arie, etc) and mastered by the legendary Greg Calbi (John Mayer, Norah Jones, etc). Guest musicians include Justin Cary (Sixpence None The Richer), Steve Bowman (Counting Crows, Luce), Steve Brewster (Jewel, Faith Hill), Mark Hill (Keith Urban, Carrie Underwood), and David Henry (Butterfly Boucher, Vienna Teng). "Go Deeper" with This Kind of Life!

"The Mary Dream have combined all the best elements of pop with a sentiment that runs deeper. It would be a beautiful world indeed if more musicians followed suit."
— Performing Songwriter Magazine

Happy Thanksgiving

May your stuffing be tasty,
May your turkey plump,
May your potatoes and gravy
Have nary a lump.
May your yams be delicious
And your pies take the prize,
And may your Thanksgiving dinner
Stay off your thighs
