Mary Hoffman
Hi everyone - my name's Ric, and for the last little while I've been producing Mary's first "serious" release at my home studio, Studio C in Mesa, Az. After discussing it with her, we decided to post up some of the early mixes here just to see what sort of commentary we'd get.
Mary Hoffman is a young singer/songwriter out of the Phoenix area. Simple, honest songs from the heart, easy to reach into and understand - she speaks simply and plainly to her feelings, no pretenses or obscurities here.
Stylistically, the tunes cover a lot of ground, treading ground between old-school rock, and "just this side of" country - with a couple wildcards thrown in(My bad influence, I'm afraid). In fact, I'm not quite sure how to categorize the album as a whole - I'd be interested in opinions as more tunes get uploaded.
Currently, there are 3 songs posted up - "Everybody But You", a kinda rockin' anthem, "Say Goodbye", a dark, moody, ambient little thing, and "Somebody Else", an acoustic Latin rocker. Check'em out, and by all means leave comments - that's what there here for...
I'll respond to a couple of the questions below with her in mind. Thanks for dropping by - check back soon....
Have you performed in front of an audience?
Mary plays live as an acoustic solo (sometimes with myself accompanying her) as often as she can - loves doing it, as anyone who's seen her will attest. "The Mary Hoffman Group" exists - mostly drawn from the musicians on the CD - but only performs live occasionally at this time.
Your musical influences
Jewel, Mary Chapin Carpenter - the whole list of female singer/songwriters.
