Mary Reilly is an accomplished performer, currently residing in the D.C.-Baltimore metro area. She grew up singing at her mother's piano in Chicago and has been singing various forms of music ever since. In 2005, she joined the Washington, D.C. Cabaret Network and found herself at home in the world of cabaret. Known for her rich vocal quality and sparkling stage presence, she shares unique interpretations of a wide range of music -- gems from the Great American Songbook, Motown, rock, blues, country and musical theater. Mary selects the music that best helps her tell her story and connect with her audience.
