Description

With a voice often likened to Carole King and Regina Spektor, a classical piano training, and influences ranging from Björk to Chopin, Me for Queen the creative alias of Mary Erskine is rapidly winning acclaim for her beguiling 'soul-folk' songcraft, blending traditional folk story-telling with a contemporary edge. Growing up feral in rural Fife/Scotland in a big old house near the sea, years of classical training together with a Blues guitarist for a father make for an interesting mix of Soul and Folk.

Her much-anticipated debut solo album, Loose End was released via Seahorse Music in September 2018. Teaming up with Jim Wallis at Bella Union Studios, the record sees her explore a more varied sonic landscape, moving away from her piano-led sound into richly orchestrated arrangements.

Mary has enjoyed support from BBC6 Music and BBC Radio Wales and BBC Scotland; the album was Record of Note on Roddy Hart's show and the single, Loose End, was Single of the Week on the Janice Forsyth show. Her song, Jessica was included on Spotify UK's playlist, The Most Beautiful Songs in the World and has racked up over 100, 000 plays.
Her new EP is set for release in February 2019 and charts her recent journey through pregnancy and new motherhood.
