The Smooth STL Diva Takes You on a Nostalgic Musical Journey

St. Louis, get ready to be serenaded by the one and only Mary Dyson, affectionately known as “The Smooth STL Diva.” With a voice as sultry as a summer breeze and a stage presence that commands attention, Mary has been captivating audiences for years. Her journey began across the pond in London, England, where she lent her velvety vocals to background tracks in recording studios. Fast forward to today, and Mary is a celebrated vocalist with a repertoire that spans jazz, smooth R&B, and contemporary pop—offering a little something for everyone.
Mary’s career has been nothing short of extraordinary. She’s graced stages at iconic venues like the Kranzberg Theatre, headlined two unforgettable concerts at the Sheldon Theatre, and even brought her soulful sound to the Four Seasons in Maui. Along the way, she’s shared the spotlight with some of the most acclaimed musicians in the country, including the late, great Willie Akins. Whether performing in her hometown of St. Louis or under the Hawaiian sun, Mary’s voice has a way of leaving audiences spellbound.
And now, she’s back to take you on a musical journey you won’t forget.
