Mara Hruby doesn’t just play music—she lives it. Since the onset of her career in 2010, the Oakland, CA native has poured her soul into her velvet confections, drawing inspiration from lessons that she’s gleaned in her personal life and funneling them into rich, organic compositions.
Her debut EP released in 2010, From Her Eyes, featured Ms. Hruby soulfully covering classics originally performed by men. Ranging from the likes of Jamiroquai, Bob Marley and D’Angelo, she would re-interpret their work while adding her own feminine touch. Marking over 80K+ downloads in the first couple months the project propelled Ms. Hruby into her own lane. A captivating performer, Ms. Hruby has notably sold out shows at Yoshi’s Oakland and Blue Note Jazz Club in NYC. She has also performed in venues stretching from Philadelphia, DC, to Grammy Weekend (2012 & 2016) in Los Angeles, the 28th Annual Long Beach Jazz Festival (2015), The Clift Hotel’s Centennial Celebration (2015) in San Francisco and the 75th Annual Stern Grove Festival in San Francisco (2012).
Ms. Hruby’s 2014 sophomore EP, Archaic Rapture, received a nod of approval from Billboard. Archaic Rapture may be briefly defined by her heartbreak, but it bleeds deeper down into the details. It overflows with pure emotion not to convey weakness, but to show strength in being honest with oneself. Within the first week of its release Archaic Rapture reached the coveted #1 spot on iTunes Jazz charts. You will come to understand, fairly quickly, that Ms. Hruby exudes pure creative power and sentimental care through her body of work. It’s only a matter of time before her art receives international acclaim on a large scale. MaraHruby.com | instagram.com/MaraHruby
