About Mary Ann Casale
Mary Ann (Mia) Casale is an eclectic singer-songwriter who is blessed with a voice that is rich, pure, and refreshingly melodic. She is a multi-instrumentalist, primarily a guitarist whose playing is defined by a deft fingerpicking style. Mary Ann’s songs are firmly grounded in the Folk genre, but also hint at other roots styles that have found their way into her music. Mary Ann was introduced to the guitar by her uncle, a celebrated NYC musician and to whom she credits strong jazz and blues influences. Mary Ann gravitated to the folk music and played the college coffeehouse scene. Later she joined with bands as a multi-instrumentalist and vocalist. While fans admired her abilities on guitar, mandolin and dulcimer, it was her voice - deeply soulful and uniquely resonant that soon became her trademark.
Mary Ann has released three albums of new original music over her career. Running Out of Time (2014), is thirteen songs that showcase her writing with her trademark vocal placed front and center with minimal accompaniment. On Restless Heart (2016) Mary Ann led a full band in recording eleven fresh originals. The album maintains the integrity of a folk album, even with its more extensive instrumentation, intricate arrangements and detailed production. Since 2016 Mary Ann has focused on co-writing, arranging, and recording music with long-time music partner, Tas Cru. She helped deliver six albums of his original songs. During this time as a member of his band, she toured throughout the US, eastern Canada and on three extended runs to northern Europe. Mary Ann finally took to the studio again in 2025 and recorded the aptly titled, Where I Belong, marking her return to her folk roots, but now nuanced by music sensibilities acquired from her ten years of touring and extensive creative collaboration with Tas. She is currently performing with him as a duo: Eclipse - The Tas Cru & Mary Ann Casale Acoustic Reverie, and in his band.
Her newest album Where I Belong released in November 2025.

Mary Ann started playing music professionally at a young age and all through her college years. After a 25-year hiatus, Mary Ann’s life took another turn, and she shook off the dust from her now vintage Gibson acoustic. Mary Ann started writing and performing again, sharing the stage with talented musicians in her locale in northern New York state where she resides today.
In 2014, she released an all-acoustic album, Running Out of Time. It was aptly titled given her long absence from writing and performing. Purchase Running Out of Time here.
Mary Ann soon released another album in 2016 titled Restless Heart—an album that needed a full band’s effort to finish. This was produced by Tas Cru and featured several musicians from his touring band.
