about: Mackenzie Roark started her musical pursuits at an early age when she was forced by her parents to play the acoustic guitar and sing in her middle school praise band at church. While the rickety stage in the Jesus mural youth room was worlds away from the type of stage she dreamed of one day occupying, she learned the basics of playing and singing simultaneously, as well as how to pray away the stage fright.

Fast forward fifteen or so years, and Mackenzie has played stages all along the east coast. From Charleston to Asheville to New York City, this Richmond, Virginia-based musician has played just about every type of gig. Over the years, she's dialed in her craft by way of hundreds of performances in bars, restaurants, and breweries, as well as festivals and major venues

magnetic fusion of classic country, 70’s folk, and raw rock and roll, hailing from Richmond, Virginia. Mackenzie's songwriting prowess draws from a well of influences, including classic country icons like Townes Van Zandt and Loretta Lynn, fused with the bold, punchy energy reminiscent of Shania Twain and Sheryl Crow.
