Mary Lorson

Singer/songwriter Mary Lorson is most known for her role in the indie rock outfit Madder Rose, the New York band she has fronted since 1990. The band released four albums during the '90s, but their 1993 debut Bring It Down received favorable praise in college press. In 1997, however, Lorson opted for a solo side, and three years later she assembled Saint Low and the band issued a self-titled release later that summer. Lorson, who was a film major in college, also kept busy with writing screenplays and directing while working on various film projects with Madder Rose bandmate Billy Cote.
