Minneapolis-based artist Mary Bue gives us a real treat – and an aerobic workout – on her new single “Right Now”. The song reminds us that this moment is all we’ve got, and Mary’s thoroughly enjoying it.
Bue is currently wrapping up her ninth studio album called The Wildness of Living and Dying, produced by The Suburbs’ Steve Price. Another teaser for the album is “Bedding Down With The Deer” where Bue sings, “I feel safer with the deer, safer than my own damn bed.” But in my experience, you can’t yell “boo!” (or Bue) in the presence of deer without spoiling their sleep.
Artists everywhere should take note of Bue’s innovative approach to financing her creative work. All of her albums have been funded via Kickstarter, and she’s been awarded numerous artist residencies in New Mexico and Florida. Bue is also a meditation retreat guide who regularly takes people on spiritual jaunts through India.
