Album Notes

Before you get to the bio below, we want to tell you about the CD, Pinch Finger Girl: A Tragedomedy. Why did Mary make up that word "tragedomedy?" ...because all the live stories on this 50 minute CD have the potential to end sadly, but they don't! The characters-whether it's the Pinch Finger Girl or Mary's dad or Mary herself--all triumph or at least learn something in the humorous endings. The overall message? Think positive, and do what you can with what you have one bit at a time...and if that doesn't work, then drink more coffee!
BIO
Folk humorist Mary Mack spends half her time convincing her Minnesotan mother it’s okay for her daughter to be a comedian and the other half touring the country in her sweet, 400 dollar Dodge Neon--affectionately referred to as “Street Heat.” Mack and her mandolin sing-alongs, have been featured on the nationally syndicated Bob and Tom Radio Show, XM's National Lampoon's Comedy Network, and Minnesota's Polka Spotlight. After winning the 2005 California's Funniest Female Contest, she went on to appear in the Vancouver Comedy Fest (2007) and HBO's Andy Kaufman Awards (2007), and has appeared on Comedy Central's Live at Gotham and NBC's Last Comic Standing. Mack, who started her career in Nashville, now splits her time between Los Angeles and Minneapolis, and is releasing her 3rd live album "Pinch Finger Girl" this May. Her endearing stage presence and off-kilter, musical surprises, stemming from her background as former music teacher and polka bandleader, make her popular in up to three non-adjacent counties in Wisconsin.
