With roots entwined in the soil fertilized by Mozart and Bach, Bathtub Mary brings the precision of classical technique to the ear of the groovy concert goer. The fusion of orchestral theory into folk-music bred lyricism and jazz-rock instrumentals breeds the musical equivalent of genetic engineering. This musical melange defines what can only be described as a musical super-genre, enabling the band to free itself of stylistic limitations and create some of the most expressive, creative and original music in the market today.

We’ve boiled it down to “Classically bred groove-rock with some jazz-funk love.”

Stretching beyond the typical “Jam Band” persona, lyrical inspirations are often cultivated from a frustration with society’s status-quo. At times showing their softer side, Bathtub Mary enraptures fans with heartfelt serenades that some have said brings them back to the days of Crosby Stills Nash & Young. Musical nods to bands like Belá Fleck and the Flecktones are incorporated by bouncing intermingling guitar melodies off bass and drum rhythms in odd time signatures. Jonathan Wearn & Philip DaRosa’s musically impenetrable and stylistically innovative guitar work creates a sound lies somewhere between Jethro Tull and Dave Matthews Band. Utilizing their full breadth of scope, acoustic melodies twisted with throwbacks to the glory days of classic rock become an unmistakable signpost that this band has found the link between musicality and originality.

By the end of their first full year as a band, Bathtub Mary had shared the stage with Max Creek, Psychedelic Breakfast, Ekoostik Hookah, members of Strangefolk, and many more. During the summer of 2003, BTM found themselves at a couple of the best festivals of the season, and touring from Martha’s Vineyard to Pittsburgh, and from Rhode Island to Northern Maine. Bathtub Mary has made consistent appearances at Boston’s Harpers Ferry and M.V.’s The Hot Tin Roof (where they played to a crowd of nearly 400) - and they are currently developing relationships and playing at venues in NYC such as the historic Le Bar Bat .
