Mary Remsburg was raised in the rural town of Franklin, West Virginia, and graduated from Shepherd University in 2016 with a Music Education degree.
While growing up, she was part of the Shenandoah Valley Children’s Choir for 9 years, which gave her the opportunity to be selected to perform at numerous venues, including Carnegie Hall and The White House. During her time at Shepherd University, Mary was part of the Jazz Combo and Jazz Ensemble, which gave her the honor of performing with Award Winning composer Maria Schneider. Mary also performed at several Honors Recitals at the Washington County Museum of Fine Arts, both as a classical soloist and in the Jazz Combo. She accompanied for Women’s Camerata for several years, as well as Performance Forums and senior recitals.
Mary currently teaches through her private studio at Shepherd University, teaches at Saint James Private School, and is the accompanist for Hagerstown Choral Arts. Mary also frequently plays for musical productions, recitals, recordings, private events, and concerts.
Aside from the classical and jazz world, Mary released her very first folk album in 2023 entitled, “Sounds Like Home,” under the stage name “Mister Mae.” The album consists of a compilation of songs that she wrote from age fourteen and up, while drawing much of her inspiration from the land and people around her. Her music has been featured on multiple radio programs both in the United States and the United Kingdom.
