Mary Duff Is "LOOKING FORWARD TO THE PAST" With Brand New Single
International recording artist Mary Duff has just released her new single, "Looking Forward To The Past" following her recent announcement that she will no longer tour with Daniel O'Donnell.
Although best known for her collaborations with Daniel O'Donnell, Mary Duff has also carved out her own solo career over the years. She has the distinction of having shared the stage with Garth Brooks during one of his first European Tours ( still the only Irish artist to have done so), as well as having appeared on the prestigious Wembley Country Music Festival. Whilst on downtime from The Daniel O'Donnell Show, she has toured through the UK, USA, Australia, New Zealand and Sri Lanka with her own band, and appeared on some of the biggest European Country Music Festivals, at the same time amassing thousands of You Tube views and radio airplay worldwide.
Mary recently announced that she would not be returning to the Daniel O'Donnell show when he resumes touring, highlighting that that she wanted to spend more time close to family in Ireland and invest more time on her own musical projects. Although the announement came as a surprise to some, it was warly embraced by Mary's many fans who look forward to seeing more of her as a solo artist.
Although Mary would often be regarded as a traditional Country artist, she cites music influences as diverse as Patsy Cline, Etta James, Emmylou Harris and Keith Urban. The new song "Looking Forward To The Past" is a modern country classic which highlights Mary's abilities as a contemporary recording artist comparable to Martina McBride or Trisha Yearwood. Focusing on the themes of rediscovering old dreams, Mary initially released "Looking Forward To The Past" as an album track on her all original 'Changing Lanes' album, but recently found new meaning in the song.
