I now have a (wonderful) record label: Hygh Tension Records / Virgin Music Group! They released my first Christmas single, “I Wanna Believe,” in November 2024. We’ve followed that in 2025 with “Take Your Time,” “Costa Rica” feat. Ryan Smith, “For All of Us (Dear Taylor),” “Least of All Her,” and “Does Any of This Really Matter,” the first five singles off my upcoming second album. My second album, I DON’T NEED YOUR PERMISSION, will release on August 1, 2025! My 2023 debut album, GOLDEN GIRL, along with a four-song acoustic EP of it, is also available! You can find my music on all streaming platforms, including:

Apple Music

Spotify

Bandcamp

ReverbNation

You can also buy the CD or golden vinyl of GOLDEN GIRL, either through Bandcamp or at various record stores. Check that out, along with the T-shirts, stocking caps, and other merch on my Bandcamp page! (See below!)

I’m lucky enough to be part of the Singer/Songwriter Songwriting Challenge on Facebook. Thanks to that songwriting community’s songwriting prompts and encouragement, I’ve now written over 100 songs.

My primary music focus is my band, Mary Strand & The Garage. I also sometimes perform as a solo artist, duo, or with friends and/or bands here in Minneapolis. Performance dates are always on my Find Me page.
