About
Mary Lenz is a jazz singer for hire in Brisbane, QLD.
Mary Lenz sings jazz standards and pop covers with a guitar, and she works solo, in a duo with Dave McGuire, or with a trio or band when the room needs a fuller sound. The song list is broad and still growing: Valerie, Jolene, Dream a Little Dream, Let's Stay Together, Yellow, Put Your Records On, Can't Help Falling in Love. She's a regular choice for wedding ceremonies and canape hours, cocktail parties, corporate nights, and for memorial services and funerals, which is a job that needs care as much as it needs a voice. All equipment comes with her. She asks for a power point, cover from the weather, and access to the venue an hour before the guests arrive.

The show
Mary is warm and easy to deal with, and she takes the weight of the occasion seriously, which matters more at some events than others. She's reliable and quick to answer, and all the equipment comes with her. If you want a bigger sound than one voice and a guitar, a duo, a trio or a band can be arranged instead.
On the day
A power point, protection from the weather, and access to the venue an hour before your event starts. That hour is the useful part, because it means she's set up and sound checked well before the first guest walks in rather than fiddling with cables while people arrive.
Performance options
Her repertoire suits a wedding ceremony, the canape hour and the first dance, and she'll cover all three or just one of them. Corporate nights and cocktail parties work the same way. She also plays memorial services and funerals, which is a different job and one she takes on properly. Solo is the standard booking, with duo and band options if the room needs more.
