Nashville’s “Americana Queen” (Vice/Noisey) Mary Bragg has been heralded in Rolling Stone, No Depression, and NPR Music, which named her album Violets as Camouflage one of 2019’s best: “Her clear, warm alto, reminiscent of Patsy Cline, was made for confidences, and these gorgeously crafted and executed songs touch the listener on a deep level, where insight occurs.”
An artist, songwriter, producer, and engineer, the Swainsboro, Georgia native began to fully come into her own with her 2017 record, the critically acclaimed Lucky Strike. Hailed as a “sublime distilling of Southern grit” by NPR, the album dipped its toes into a kind of radical honesty that Bragg had only previously hinted at, which she then committed further to for her self-titled album, Mary Bragg, released in 2022. Covering heartbreak, grief, and self-actualization, Mary Bragg depicts themes centered around the life tenets most important to her – love, kindness, and honesty. No Depression called it a “personal and powerful set featuring a courageous plumb line;” Americana Highways hailed, “Mary Bragg levels up as songwriter and producer,” while Folk Alley said her “exquisite vocal performances convey her struggles and triumphs with both intimacy and vulnerability. As we listen, we live her pain alongside her. We feel with her the tentativeness of moving forward, acknowledging regret, and grasping hope.”
Bragg tours extensively, both with her band and solo, playing headline and festival dates to ever-growing audiences across the US, Canada, and Europe. Since earning her Masters of Arts in Songwriting and Production at BerkleeNYC, Bragg has released two EPs, The Quiet One and Tie Me to You, while hinting at a forthcoming full-length record. Having opened tours for the Indigo Girls, The Secret Sisters, Mick Flannery, and Caroline Spence, Bragg is gearing up for a robust chapter, because, as Saving Country Music said, “Watch out.”
