Born in Detroit, Michigan as one of 10 children, Mary Hartman‘s love of music began at an early age. She ordered her first guitar from a Sears catalog at the age of 14 and never looked back. She honed her Songwriting skills day after day, night after night in her bedroom on the 3rd floor of their big, old house. Her Dad worked in a Auto Factory as an Electrician and her Mom stayed at home taking care of their large family. Many of her songs come from her upbringing in a blue collar, hardworking, Church on Sunday Family.
She ended up in Nashville after raising her own family, 2 beautiful daughters. She lived in Nashville for 15 years writing and playing in some of the best Songwriter Rounds with some of the most talented Songwriters in Nashville. She has played the World Famous Bluebird Cafe, Tootsies Orchid Lounge, The Nashville Palace, Douglas Corner, The Listening Room, The Tin Roof, The Commodore and many more. She has had her song pitched on Music Row and still does today.
After 15 years in Nashville, Mary moved back to Michigan to be closer to her family. Her Mom is 91 now. Mary still writes and plays out. Sit back and enjoy the “Homemade” Songs and if you feel the need to sing along. Please do!
Bob Sky Young is a singer/songwriter and multi-instrumentalist from the greater Detroit area. An award-winning composer, he is also known from his time fronting the Delta Twins.
You might hear in his songs strains of early Elton John, Jackson Browne, Marc Cohn, and Jason Isbell. His lyrics are often observational, sometimes confessional, and other times just fun with interesting word play.
