Mary Schmary

Articulate, eclectic, brilliant, soulful, and loopy as heck, the Schmaries have been a powerful force of Good for over 5 years. They have spread a cappella joy at such Bay Area venues as the Sweetwater in Mill Valley, the Hotel Utah in SF, the Freight & Salvage in Berkeley, the Palms in Davis, the Harmony Sweepstakes at the Palace of Fine Arts, the SF Free Folk Festival, the High Sierra Music Festival, live on KPFA, Morgan's Cafe in Monterey, and the Red Vic in Santa Rosa.

Purported, by the Schmaries themselves, to be the last hurrah after a nine year lifespan, "Hidden Agenda Items" careens into infinity with brash outrageousness. Originals, such as "Ecclesiasticus 31:1" and "Bug Girl," are stars in their own unique musical galaxy, one that perhaps hasnšt been identified yet! With zest and humor ("Classic Rock/La Cucaracha"), they fuse elements of the blues, world, and plainchant; the Bobs come to mind as their spiritual counterparts. By the way, did we mention that the Schmaries are women (two basses, two altos/sopranos), but discard previously held notions about "girl a cappella groups"; they donšt apply here. "Hidden Agenda Items" is a fiery ascent into the outer limits!

Already Gone

Four incredibly smart women have combined their musical abilities to write and create some of the cleverest, thought provoking, and humorous tunes available. For humor, check out "I Put You There" and "Little Fish." The politically inspired, classical sounding "Uterus" is a no nonsense getoutofmyface tune. All in all the thought provoking reflections are leavened by a collective intellect seldom encountered in in a field so frequently thought of as "merely entertainment." If you are willing to be harmonized into thinking differently than you do now, this is for you!
