Returning to Romanza is like coming home for Mama Blue. The Jacksonville native has planted seeds in St. Augustine and the musical fruit is sweet!  Choosing to take “a road less traveled,” by keeping close to her roots and community, she has blazed a “Heartfelt Highway,” with original music, emboldened by sharing her vulnerabilities and ours.

Though the pandemic has taken its toll, Mama Blue still manages to press on with honors such as Best of the Beaches Female Vocalist in 2020. When the coveted Porchfest Music Festival in Jax was canceled due to Covid, she and her bandmates rallied to put on a Porchfest Party for her fan family, which was a testament to the power of community. In the January 2021 Arbus Magazine, she spoke of the hardships that musicians have faced which were magnified in 2020, and how as a community of artists and fans we could persevere together. Humanity is her family and the social forces that influence our lives, influence her music. She continues to push past barriers, seen and unseen through her original songs of friendship, perseverance, forgiveness, and the perfection in our imperfections. Mama Blue Live is an experience you will not want to miss!
