Mary Lamaro's band and her backing trio The Broadcast Band are about to be featured on Vienna's Radio Orange on March 27. When she goes on the air, the Austrian singer/songwriter will be talking about One World Beat, because she is proud to be one of its acts, and wants to bring her music to the people and make a difference - and to get them dancing.

Mary Lamaro got her band together in 2003 but reckons she first began her career when at the tender age of 10 she picked up her big brother's guitar and started to strum and sing. With a range of influences from Aretha Franklin, Ray Charles and Etta James through to the wild rock of Jimi Hendrix, Pink Floyd and The Stones, Mary sings with soul and passion. Writing about the real ups-and-downs of life, she always likes to tell it her way. From festivals like Vienna's
Donauinselfest to wherever the music takes her, Mary Lamaro's aim is for her audience to forget their sorrows and go home satisfied. What more do you want?
