MARY RESEK

Since the release of her debut album “Two In The Saddle” in June of 2008, Mary Resek has taken great strides in building her music career.  With single releases to both Canadian and European radio, along with placing in the top 10 on the  ECMA charts, Mary is showing promise in the country music industry.

A born and bred Calgarian, Mary is the youngest in a family of six.  Her musical influences and country roots began at the tender age of four, when her family would gather around the Resek house for their Saturday night jams. Mary’s Dad, Tony Resek, would play guitar, yodel and sing the old traditional country tunes, while Mary and her siblings would harmonize and play several instruments including guitar, accordion and organ.

With having such a strong family heritage in music, stirred the fire for a career in entertainment.  Her first public performances started at age seven with the school choir and then later on throughout high school performing in the school band playing saxophone.

Contest successes, prompted Mary to make performing part of her regular diet. Showcasing her talents at first, then entertaining at Clubs, Legion Halls, private functions, Stampede Breakfasts, BBQ’S, and Corporate Functions.

A loyal audience and fan base quickly surfaced.  Mary realized then that Traditional Country music was her true passion and has pursued this dream ever since.

Audience acceptance for a budget EP recording prompted Mary to take the next big step... investing in a professionally recorded studio session. Recorded at Alberta’s Premier Studio “The Beach Studios” in Calgary, Alberta with top Producer Lanny Williamson, Mary's debut album "Two In The Saddle", was released in late June 2008. It reveals just a little of Mary’s “spirit” and offers a true Traditional Country sound.
The tracks turned out so well that NeXXt Records got on board to distribute and help promote her new CD. “Two In The Saddle” is a culmination of efforts to date, and broadcasters across North America and Europe are debuting Calgary’s newest Traditional Country artist.

Plans are currently underway to take her music to the next level with subsequent single releases to radio, a second album planned for 2010, and putting together a full band.  She is continuing to develop and spread her music and talent where ever she can and is building a fan base and performances that are now expanding beyond her hometown of Calgary, Alberta.
