Mary Ann & the Blue Dogs

MARY ANN AND THE BLUE DOGS have their own pulsing, driving style of classic improvisational blues and have been a major influence to the Oklahoma Blues scene since 1991. They have opened for such blues greats as, Dr John; Kim Wilson; Smokin' Joe Kubek; and the Queen of the Blues herself, KoKo Taylor! In fact, Mary Ann sang Wang Dang Doodle on stage with KoKo in November of 1994. This past summer MARY ANN & THE BLUE DOGS performed at Norman's Jazz in June to a crowd of almost 9,000.

The band is led by Mary Ann Tate a native of Tulsa, Oklahoma, who was born to sing the blues. Whether on stage singing and playing guitar, or strolling the audience belting out the blues up close and personal, Mary Ann sings with an unsurpassed depth that ranges from gut growling raunchy to crystal clear sweet. MARY ANN & THE BLUE DOGS perform original material as well as covering other artists with their own flair - Doggie Style They are a powerful blues act that plays with an unforgettable intensity people remember for years.

MARY ANN & THE BLUE DOGS released their first album, UNLEASHED, in March of 1995 and have achieved much air play on local radio stations. Their CD's and cassettes are available at all performances and there are copies that have been purchased by fans in almost every State in the Union.
