She’s like some last pocket of the blues that never got explored\, all wrapped up in a ball of 21st-century charisma. \n			\n			\n				\n				\n				\n				\n			\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				“She’s got “a voice that sounds like Louis Armstrong’s trumpet at a rent party\,” says blues guitar legend Jimmy Vivino\, and The Wall Street Journal thinks she’s a sign that “things are getting better.” \nMara’s debut single\, “It Had to Be You”\, featuring roots and blues piano legend Carl Sonny Leyland\, has garnered acclaim and steady rotation on LA’s premier jazz station\, KJAZZ 88.1 FM. Her original tune\, “Dystopian Blues”\, was showcased on ‘The Kelly Clarkson Show.’ A recent collaboration with Brooklyn hip-hop legend AZ on his track “Never Enough” with rapper Rick Ross\, highlights how Mara continues to build bridges and to defy genre expectations. \nThe Marlonius Jazz Orchestra \nHailing from Los Angeles\, Marlon Martinez brings his Marlonius Jazz Orchestra to accompany Miss Mara Kaye!
