About the Band

Violet Mary formed in 2007 with one purpose: to rock with profundity. Steeped in british blues, 70s rock, Motown and modern pop, the members of Violet Mary careen their creative visions into a collision of sound and substance; a technicolor display of pure musical passion and sonic intensity. The byproduct of such controlled chaos is nothing short of breathtaking, each line weaving among the other… each rhythm finding the depth of the pocket.

In 2009, Violet Mary released their first record entitled Marionette. The album was received critical acclaim both in print and on-air, and is featured in rotation on WBER, WBZE, and WZNE.

Violet Mary released their sophomore album, After the Plunge on November 13, 2010. The 11-track record captures the band refining their arrangements and exploring the recording studio to create a spacious, thoughtful and grand soundscape. The band continues to proudly tip its hat to Led Zeppelin on After the Plunge, and expands upon it, introducing elements of progressive rock in “Leviathan”, power-pop in “Canada”, Queen-esque vocals on “Long Dark Night” and even a dash of dixieland on “Sweet Tea”.
