RIGHT NOW ~ Latest Single
The spiritual and the physical are inextricably intertwined for Bue, and it comes through in the lyrics of “Right Now,” as she paints a vivid picture of the things that are all happening at once on (and to) our planet, what people are feeling as they go through the best and worst times of their lives, and the parallels between humanity and nature …

ABOUT:
KALI'S ROAR & LOVE'S DOOR
As the veils thin and we approach All Hallow's Eve, Samhain, and Day of the Dead, we have a unique opportunity to call upon the Shakti and primal power of the Dark Goddess Kali. Kali is multi-faceted and known as a Warrior Goddess, the Ruler of Time, the Vast Cosmic Womb, and a goddess of Destruction and Transformation as well as a Universal Mother.
This workshop is designed to activate and integrate two main faces of Kali: the Fierce Warrior Goddess and the Loving Universal Mother.
We will activate Kali's Warrior Shakti and "Roar" with drumming, chanting, ceremony, asana and Shaktiflow to awaken the spiritual warrior in each of us and embrace life with a fearless and open heart. We will integrate this Shakti with Yin & Restorative Yoga, Sonic Blessings and Yoga Nidra to open the "Heart's Door" of Kali's unconditional mother love and rest in that nurturing and illuminating light.
Our workshop will include:
Grounding & Centering
Group Introductions and Intentions
Chanting ~ Bring your drum if you have one and join along!
Asana & Shaktiflow
Cool Down with Yin & Restorative
Sonic Blessings
Yoga Nidra

Feature in MPR Arts + Culture
February 14th 2025
“Minnesota native Mary Bue has carved a unique space within the music scene, using her art for healing. Bue’s understanding of the emotional relationship between lyrics and the music has led her to create an innovative sound.
This album, written from 2020 to 2023, is inspired by events in Minneapolis and the world — as well as a traumatic carjacking Bue experienced.
Bue says the album captures the spectrum of good and bad possibilities every day holds.”

Album Review Racket MN
February 11th 2025
“Since Bue teaches yoga and conducts meditative retreats, I sometimes worry she’ll become so spiritually well-adjusted it’ll dull her songwriting edge. Her terrific new album, The Wildness of Living & Dying, which urgently testifies as “this beautiful world fuckin’ burns before our eyes,” amply assuages those fears. Bue is equally at home riffing off L. Cohen’s “Anthem” (“Leonard says cracks/Are how the light gets in/Well then, I’m a crack whore/It feels like I’m crumblin’”) or assuring listeners “If you’re hearing this, you ain’t dead yet, my friend,” and she’s still very much attuned to the pain in this world without surrendering to it.”
