Mara Levi began her rock and roll career at the ripe old age of 19. She joined the indie-rockers, Kid Sampson as a song-writer, bass player and singer. Mara studied music composition at Amherst College as Kid Sampson began to take off. After a short tour of duty in New York City, Kid Sampson took a break, leaving our fair hero to fend for herself. Mara took her cue. She picked up a guitar and started moving. She currently resides in Washington, DC where her music has evolved into a catchy blend of her Folk Music roots, her Jazz Compositional training, and her Indie-Pop upbringing. Wielding her acoustic guitar, Mara's sound resembles a mix of Liz Phair, Fiona Apple, Alanis Morissette, and Aimee Mann - an explosive combination! Mara's songs deal with issues ranging from her life as a lesbian, love, politics, all the way to stalker songs. While written from the perspective of someone immersed in gay culture, Mara's songs appeal to people of all genders and orientations. Baltimore Out Loud recently reviewed Life's a Ball and had this to say: "...the perfect pop music inside spoke to me instantly. First of all, Levi's voice is a powerful tool, her musicianship is above par, and her songwriting gifts are considerable. A combination such as that has resulted in some of the most original and admirable songs I've heard in a long time." Mara has now been touring the country for almost a year in support of Life's a Ball, and will surely be coming to a town near you very soon! Unless you live in Alaska. It's very far away, you know.
