Mary Bolton Music - Bringing Passion and Joy Through Live Performance
With over 25 years of experience as a music educator and performer, I have dedicated my life to sharing the transformative power of music. My journey began as a child, listening to music with my dad, enjoying my mom’s piano playing, and performing with my sister on the French horn. From school band and choir to musical theatre, music has always been at the heart of my life.
In college, I chose music education as my path, turning my passion into a profession that allows me to inspire and connect with people of all ages. Whether performing solo or as part of a rock, country, or blues band, I pour my heart into creating meaningful musical experiences.
I craft unique renditions of beloved songs, blending inspiration from artists like Sheryl Crow, Alison Krauss, The Beatles, Tom Petty, Norah Jones, John Prine, and Lady Gaga. From smooth jazz and folk to high-energy rock classics, my performances aim to captivate audiences, adding joy and positive energy to every event.
Let me bring the soundtrack to your next gathering, creating unforgettable moments with music that resonates. Whether it’s a corporate event, private party, or public performance, I’m here to elevate your experience.

Influences

We’ve had the privilege of performing together many times, sharing the stage and creating memorable moments through our harmonies and shared love of storytelling through song. My musical style reflects these influences, blending rock, country, blues, folk, and jazz into performances that celebrate connection and creativity.
