"Uncertainty is the highest form of living by faith, and it’s okay to have faith and fear at the same time," explains Mary Lou Lackey. "That’s what living for the thrill of it means to me-embracing all the unknowns, choosing joy, and trusting that God has everything in His hands. I hope that as you listen to this song, you find the thrill in your spiritual journey and relationship with Christ. I wouldn’t have been able to do this project without the support of my family, my management team, and everyone who collaborated on this project."
Hailing from Pumpkin Center, NC, Mary Lou has a passion for storytelling and creating heartfelt music. With over 300 original songs in her portfolio and proficiency in playing guitar, piano, and mandolin, she showcases a unique sound that blends folk, blues, rock, and pop within the faith genre. Her musical journey began with childhood performances in church and has since led to national recognition, including earning a Golden Ticket on American Idol. Her powerful vocals and meaningful lyrics, shaped by her experiences-particularly her journey living with OCD-resonate deeply with audiences.
Under the development and management of the new company Ginger Daisy Ventures, Mary Lou has positioned herself as an artist to watch. Her live performance of the song "Tear Stains On My Bible" quickly gained over 95,000 views on YouTube, significantly increasing her subscriber count on the platform.
"We’ve been privileged to work alongside many artists and songwriting communities across the world for many years," shares Karen and Adrian Thompson of Ginger Daisy Ventures. Our partnership with Mary Lou came about in the most unexpected but God-predicted way. We are honoured and excited to help support and develop such a talented and genuinely beautiful person in her God ordained calling."
