About this user

Mara is a classically-trained jazz musician/choir girl who cut her teeth playing bass in an all-male (except Mara) rock band. She specializes in Smart Pop Music: Music that is catchy and accessible, and intricate and smart. Her style is the hypothetical lovechild of Elvis Costello and Liz Phair—an amalgamation of bluegrass, hip hop, folk, pop, and jazz, studded with a diamond-sharp wit. Mara's discography includes "We Listen to Fools," (2010)--a chronicle of emotional devastation that makes you want to invite Mara over for movie night and Twizzlers--"Life's a Ball" (2003) and "What are You?" (2007).

Mara is best known for her signature smarts, showcased in the "Homo Song," a cheerful coming-out sing-a-long song, and "Angelina," a touching stalker ballad for the lovely Angelina Jolie.

In her spare time, Mara teaches music to elementary students and cabaret singers, and volunteers with Girls Rock! DC, a music camp focused on self-esteem and empowerment. She is a graduate of Amherst College and has been touring nationally for more than 10 years.
