An artist, songwriter, producer, and engineer, the Swainsboro, Georgia native began to fully come into her own with her 2017 record, the critically acclaimed Lucky Strike. Hailed as a “sublime distilling of Southern grit” by NPR, the album dipped its toes into a kind of radical honesty that Bragg had only previously hinted at, which she then committed further to for her self-titled album released in 2022. Covering heartbreak, divorce, coming out, grief, and self-actualization, Mary Bragg depicts themes centered around the life tenets most important to her - love, kindness, and honesty. No Depression called it a “personal and powerful set featuring a courageous plumb line,” Americana Highways hailed “Mary Bragg levels up as songwriter and producer,” while Folk Alley said her “exquisite vocal performances convey her struggles and triumphs with both intimacy and vulnerability. As we listen, we live her pain alongside her. We feel with her the tentativeness of moving forward, acknowledging regret, and grasping hope.”  

 
Bragg tours extensively, both with her band and solo, playing headline and festival dates to ever-growing audiences across the US, Canada, and Europe. Since earning her Masters of Arts in Songwriting and Production at BerkleeNYC, Bragg has had a steady queue of artists eager to work with her on their next records - Grace Pettis, Sav Buist, and the Accidentals, among them. She has also begun work on her own forthcoming album, with singles due in early 2024. Having opened tours for the Indigo Girls, The Secret Sisters, Mick Flannery, and Miranda Lambert, Bragg is gearing up for a robust year of touring, because, as Saving Country Music said, “Watch out.”
