Born in the Midwest and raised in Rochester, NY, Marye trotted the globe in search for inspiration and purpose. After listening to sounds and taking in the culture of Ireland, Norway, Brazil, Argentina and Chile, she found herself singing songs and playing guitar in New York City clubs. With her Quaker and Buddhist ideals at heart, she put herself through school at Berklee College of Music in Boston, MA. Upon graduation, she released Finding Home in response to her travels. After living in New York City for a few years she released NOT AT WAR and did a national tour to celebrate the work. Now back in New York City she teaches and performs and is writing her third album.
“An artist has a responsibility.
to listen to the world around him or herself.
to take it in and comprehend the complexity to the best of his or her ability.
An artist has a responsibility.
to be honest.
art, in its truest form, has no hidden agenda – it is there to breathe, to speak, to merely exist.
An artist has a responsibility.
to create a positive message.
to propose a solution, radical or simple as it may be – to serve the greater good.”

Hi Marye,
Hope you are well!!!! My niece Lizzy (who you met in NY) is coming to New York December 16-18. Are you preforming anywhere? I know she’d love to hear you. Things are good here in LA. Miss you!

I met Marye when she was 15. We played guitar together then, and I knew she had the heart of a songwriter. Years later I’ve met Marye again and her music is a messenger of the Soul essence that is as true and pure as the voice that sings it. Marye’s music is etherically grounded in simple elegant melodies with words that are real. Probably the most authentic “new” music listened to in many decades. Brave and bold, Marye’s songs are truthful, deep and a celebration of life. This is real music with tunes that stay with you. Encouraging, life affirming, heartfelt messages for anyone that is human. Simple gifts given humbly. Marye Lobb…where less is more. Thank you for sharing your heart.
