Mara Lovejoy has been keeping quite busy with performances in the area as a solo performer and with her band. She recently returned from a trip to Chicago where she played two DIY venues. Even with considerable traction in the music scene, Mara is working to complete her music education at UMD which comes to a culmination with a piano recital in March.
Looking back, Mara's first album was a joint purchase with her sister that included a track from a hit movie in the 90s. Her first concert was of a pop-punk band with a penchant for stage choreography. And her guilty pleasure song goes full-on power ballad. "Even the ballad part of it is loud... It's so much!"
