She is a native born Texan and as a young woman ventured off to Utah where she "married her a cowboy.” They have deep western roots that go back six generations and reside in the small western town of Escalante, a 140 year old ranching community in southern Utah, where her large family is involved in horse training, cow- boying, and all things western. She has been married to her hus- band Brad for 30 years, they have ten children. Mary Kaye has won multiple awards including Song of the Year and Female Vocalist of the Year from the Western Music Association, and Female Performer of the Year from the Acad- emy of Western Artists. Mary Kaye recently released her forth solo studio western album, Ride A Wide Circle, to glowing re- views. Paul Riley of the respected Country Music People Maga- zine out of the UK declared, "Mary Kaye’s CD is one of those perfect albums. Everything comes together: the songs, the superb vocals, backing musicians on top form, very good production and best of all Mary Kaye’s unique feel for her music." The CD de- buted at #1 on the Western Music Charts, and the title track earned a prestigious Wrangler Award from The National Cowboy and Western Heritage Museum. 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."
