Mary Simon

The first thing you'll notice about Mary Simon is her powerful voice, which has been compared to Janis Joplin, Stevie Nicks and Sheryl Crow. Simon wants to engage her audience and inspire them with music. "One of my biggest joys is when people are singing along," she says. "Music has the power to unify and heal".

Sandra has been singing and playing guitar from a very young age. Growing up variously in Canada and Spain, her influences are broad. During a residency at Halls Island last summer she wrote most of the material for her upcoming album, ’A Sound in the Dark.’  

“This record is truly me - more me than I have ever been able to give up to this point.  With the new songs, I share more of myself than I have ever been able to do before.”

You can hear echoes of Etta James and Carla Thomas in Bouza’s powerful and highly nuanced phrasing.  Like Amy Winehouse and Adele, Sandra’s absorbed a lot from listening to the greats from the golden age of R and B, but like them, she has emerged with a style that is all her own.   Gifted with a masterful sense of poise and control, few singers can inhabit a vocal like Bouza.
