Rochester, NY native Marye Lobb is a bilingual singer-songwriter whose original music blends folk-rooted storytelling with Latin rhythms, jazz, and pop sensibility. Singing in English and Spanish, she pairs a soulful voice with guitar and baritone ukulele in an intimate solo performance.

Her songs explore love, resilience, and connection to the natural world. Her latest album, Mi Ola, grew from her experiences learning to surf in Mexico, weaving English and Spanish lyrics into reflections on fear, healing, and finding your own rhythm.

Also available as a duo, trio, or full band.
