American Cowboy magazine declared, "Gifted with one of the most dynamic and original voices in Western music, Mary Kaye delivers the goods!"

Mary Kaye is a multiple award winning and critically acclaimed Western entertainer who tours extensively throughout the United States and Canada. She is a native born Texan and as a young woman ventured off to Utah where she "married her a cowboy.” Her husband’s family has deep Western roots that go back six generations. Mary Kaye now resides on a century old pioneer homestead in a small Western town in central Utah where her large family is involved in cowboying, horse training, and all things Western. She has been married to her husband Brad for 27 years, they have ten children. In 2013 Mary Kaye was recognized as Female Performer and Songwriter of the Year by the Western Music Association, as Best Solo Musician by True West magazine, and received a Spur Award from the Western Writer's of America for her Butch Cassidy tune, "Any Name Will Do." Additionally, she won the 2012 "Song of the Year" award from the Western Music Association with cowboy poet Les Buffham for their song, "No Wilder Place;" a 2011 Will Rogers Award from The Academy of Western Artists' for Best Western Female Performer, and was honored as the 2010 Female Vocalist of the Year by the Western Music Association. Renowned Western artist Maynard Dixon declared, "The spirit of the West sings in every soul." Mary Kaye believes this and shares this spirit in every performance. Her music is rooted deeply in the Western landscape her life is immersed in. Western Horseman said of her, "Some Western singers and musicians are all about preserving traditional cowboy songs. Others strive to write and sing songs about contemporary cowboy life...Mary Kaye does both well, and with an authenticity that appeals to not only purists, but also those seeking something fresh." Mary Kaye's latest album, The Dawn and The Dusk, hit #1 on the western music charts and received excellent reviews by Western Horseman, County Music People, The Western Way, American Cowboy, and Maverick magazines. Additionally, her song "Jealous of the Moon," was chosen by American Cowboy as the Top Cowboy Song of 2013 and the album was nominated for the 2013 Western Album of the Year by the Western Music Association. Her No Wilder Place album also received excellent reviews and debuted at #1 on the western charts. In addition, Mary Kaye's Clean Outta Luck release garnered a WMA Song of the Year nomination for, "Cowboy Waltzin' Across Her Mind." The critics have been prolific with praise for Mary Kaye's singing and songwriting. Western music expert Marvin O'Dell said of her, "When you first hear Mary Kaye sing, you can't help but wonder if she is for real. You tell yourself that this is the kind of voice that only comes from heaven."
