Mary Ember is a talented singer-songwriter who blends the authentic sound of Americana with the fresh energy of pop. Expect a great voice and surprising but recognizable melodies; a sound reminiscent of Taylor Swift, Kacey Musgraves or a one-note First Aid Kit.

She won the jury and audience award of the student singer-songwriter contest and can mostly be found at (business) events, (living room) concerts, and many showcase events (a.o. during Eurosonic Noorderslag and at the intimate sessions of Tivoli Vreedenburg). The first four singles and an EP are almost finished; from next spring the release train leaves and her music can be heard on all platforms.

Singer-songwriter Mary Ember performs her own music, well-known covers and, if desired, specially written custom songs (inquire about recording options). Her special lyrics to existing melodies (perfect for weddings and birthdays, for example) are also well worth considering. The strength lies not only in her voice and music, but also in her ability to match the set to the purpose of the musical performance. Therefore, please mention in the request the setting and your wishes and as clearly as possible, so that an appropriate proposal can be made.

She is most flexible with her guitar; with her amplifier and microphone, she will cheerfully show up at any setting. Depending on the wishes and the setting, she can fit a piano into the set, provided it is available and there is space and opportunity for it. Should there be a need to unpack, she will gladly bring her drummer and bass player (extra cost 500 eur exc. equipment), or her cajon player for a more acoustic setting (extra cost 150 eur).

Mary Ember is the creative translation of Marije Veenstra, born in the north. Ember represents the dormant fire we all carry within us. In this era when the world is on fire, many of us are trying to hold our own among dating apps while hoping to make some real new friends after high school. So she describes the bumps of existence, the journey from toxic to (seemingly) answered love and the insights she gains in the process.
