About Me

Aloha,

I am moving to another island, Maui this month (Aug) so some appearances are being canceled or rearranged (note, I've traded with my girl, Kerry Getz the 21st for Aug 28th at Sawdust). So please super-duper-double-check before making a long trek to catch a show.

I miss every one but it can't be helped. Moving to another island takes more than just packing up the car, it entails shipping the car on a barge!! Life will level off though and I will definitely be at weSPARK in September.


If you want to friend me, please send me a little note along with the request, (I'm a "real" connection kinda woman, not into having 14,000 FAKE friends/fans),

Hugs n Mahalo, Mary :) Okay, I'm finally on here, mid-Oct, "07, the last artist/writer I know to use this myspace thing. Fave fan, Em put it up last year and I've done nothing but neglect it ever since... But I'm HERE NOW!!---I'll get the hang of this...(or I'll go to the beach and forget about it again) For now, best bio, pics, blog, lyrics and gig info is still at http://www.marycoppin.com/

Check out the song I cowrote with Jenna von Oy 'I Lied' -- http://www.myspace.com/jennavonoy
Life is good, God is so good and I'm really into writing for other artists projects these days and very cool things are coming out of it!!!!!

I’m pretty eclectic. What is in my various CDs and Ipods right this very exact minute? K T Tunstall, Damien Rice ("Cannon Ball" IS the perfect song), Sick Puppies, Ziggy Marley, Sam Cooke, Michael Buble, Lucinda Williams, Snow Patrol, Matt Kearney, James Taylor, Sheryl Crow, Steve Cerney, Shannon Hurley, Shawn Colvin, Lt Smooth, Wicked Soundtrack, Mandy Moore, Colbie Caillat, Keith Urban, Colin Hay, Ani, Rihanna, Michael Miller, Anna Nalick, The Shins, John Mayer, Miranda Lambert, The Wreckers, Elliot Morris, Amber Rhubarth, Deana Carter, Coldplay, Train, Carrie Underwood, a bunch of soul and singer/songwriter compilation CDs, Avril Lavigne, Ingrid Michaelson, Jack Johnson, Gail Swanson, Pussycat Dolls, Jason Feddy, Jenna von Oy, Cindy Alexander, Regina Spector, Rascal Flatts, The Eagles, Paula Cole, James Blunt, Gavin DeGraw, Rhianna, Jonatha Brooke, Des’ree, Oleta Adams, Ne-Yo, John Legend, Jennifer Hudson, Beyonce, Leona Lewis, Timbaland, Nelly Furtado,My all time faves right now? Fail-safe, to make me feel great like magic for like a year now, I pop in K T Tunstall’s Eye to The Telescope or Ziggy Marley’s "Love Is My Religion". Although I did have quite a love-fest the other day riding my bike along the ocean listening to Michael Buble, I just LOVE the horn section on "The Best Is Yet To Come" and "Everything" just plain tickles me. Oh, how Jon McLaughlin’s "Beautiful Disaster" moves me...I also listen to so much other stuff on myspace too. I can listen to Kevin Montgomery’s "Nothing" 5 times a day sometimes. I love that song. I discover cool new stuff here all the time.
