Tony Award nominated singer Mary Bridget Davies' journey began in her hometown of Cleveland, OH as a young dancer and actress who then began singing in local bands, and she hasn't slowed down since.

The powerhouse rock/blues/jazz singer's love of music was instilled by her parents, who raised her on a healthy diet of Broadway staples, Stevie Wonder, James Brown, Joe Cocker and, naturally, JanisJoplin. She cites a diverse array of contemporary artists she loves, ranging from Pearl Jam, Alice In Chains and Johnny Cash to Etta James, Dr. Dre and Ice Cube.

Upon gaining local acclaim for her work in various rock bands, she was asked to sit in with Big Brother & The Holding Company (Janis Joplin's original band, whom she would later tour with) as well as legendary blues guitarist Robert Lockwood Jr. Her travels have taken her all around the world, including a run on Broadway in "A Night With Janis Joplin," for which she received her Tony nod in the "Best Performance by an Actress in a Leading Role in a Musical" category.

After touring the world with various bands, she moved to New York City and landed the lead in "A Night With Janis Joplin," which mixed Janis' music with behind-the-scenes stories from the lead character, as well as performances by other artists of great blues hits that influenced Joplin.

Ms. Davies kicked off 2015 with impressive performances at SXSW, The Outside Lands Festival and a four-night residency in Pasadena, CA where she was joined by the likes of Slash, Robby Krieger, Tom Morello's Nightwatchmen, Wayne Kramer, Dave & Phil Alvin, Bob Mothersbaugh, members of Gnarls Barkley and Jesse Malin.

Fresh from the First National Broadway tour of A Night with Janis Joplin, MB is ready to take her soulful turn on her favorite Broadway tunes and soul classics!
