About the event
Mak Marie is a Nashville-based recording artist originally from Hickory, North Carolina, whose musical roots run deep. She began her journey at just three years old, recording church songs on a vintage cassette player—an early spark that revealed a rare, natural talent. Recognizing this gift, her grandfather, a musician himself, became her mentor and helped shape her early musical foundation.
Trained in piano and later self-taught on guitar, Mak turned to songwriting as a way to translate life experience into songs. Her music blends timeless influences from the 50s through the 80s, drawing inspiration from legends like Elvis Presley, Van Morrison, and Journey. With a soulful, expressive voice often compared to Norah Jones, Stevie Nicks, and Bonnie Raitt, Mak delivers songs that feel both nostalgic and deeply personal.
