Mary Strand’s 2023 debut album, Golden Girl, explores themes of love, loss, longing, and life itself, and Mary’s musical styles range from garage rock to power pop to Americana and more. That mix is no accident. She simply loves rock and roll. All of it. Her band members: Ryan Smith (Soul Asylum and The Melismatics), Mark Wade (The Melismatics and The Mood Swings), Jack Strand (Outta Coentro and Loondale).
