About

Mary Carrick is a Midwest-based cabaret & concert singer and recording artist. A dynamic and versatile performer, she transitions seamlessly between iconic standards, blues, jazz, cabaret, musical theater, and contemporary styles. Known for her lush and shimmering vocals and her ability to connect with audiences and command the stage, she's a fearless singer who can deliver a lyric and melody with warmth and sensitivity and in the next breath, turn a song on its heels.

Mary grew up in a small Iowa community, where her musical parents owned and operated a popular restaurant. As a young girl, she remembers live combos playing in the restaurant lounge, customers feeding the juke box, and the sounds of rollicking piano in the house. Today, she’s in demand as a concert and cabaret singer, performing in venues across the Midwest ranging from cabaret rooms and theaters to restored opera houses and outdoor spaces.

In 2014 she released her debut album, Let's Fly, in 2014, which features a collection of songs spanning great American standards, familiar and unfamiliar musical theater, jazz, folk and country with reimagined arrangements and fresh takes on classics.

She made her Chicago cabaret debut in 2012 with her solo show On My Way and has participated in the Midwest Cabaret Conference, led by renowned entertainers Sally Mayes (Tony award nominee), Lina Koutrakos, Rick Jensen and Beckie Menzie. She has also studied with Tony award-winning singer and actress, Betty Buckley, both as a private student and as a participant in Ms. Buckley’s Song Interpretation and Monologue Workshops held in Chicago and New York.

Mary makes her home in Omaha, Nebraska where she's a familiar face across the metropolitan area on stage with Opera Omaha, the Omaha Symphony, Rose Theatre, one of the largest professional children’s theaters in the country, and as
She’s received critical acclaim for her memorable performances at The Rose as Mother Abbess in The Sound of Music and Sour Kangaroo in Seussical: The Musical (Omaha Entertainment & Arts Award, 2013). Other notable roles include Madame Flora in The Medium (Shelterbelt Theatre), Lady Thiang in The King and I (Dundee Dinner Theatre) and Jenny in Company (Omaha Community Playhouse), among many others.
