Singer and sometime songwriter Mary Lou Lord combines the winsome delivery of a Laurel Canyon folkie with the crisply melodic smarts of the best indie-rockers of her generation. A dedicated busker on the Boston subway system in the early '90s, she released a string of acclaimed cassettes and singles, culminating in her 1995 self-titled debut on Kill Rock Stars. At the peak of her fame, in 1998, she released the more pop-oriented GOT NO SHADOW on Sony. A tasteful interpreter of indie songwriters such as Nick Saloman, Daniel Johnston, and Elliott Smith, she has also written several memorable tunes. In 2005 she was diagnosed with the vocal chord disorder spasmodic dysphonia, which hinders her from singing as frequently as she once did, but she still performs and records occasionally in her native Boston.
Mary Lou Lord has also released music as a member of Helium.
