Artist Biography by Jason Ankeny Houston-based singer/guitarist Mary Cutrufello was raised in Connecticut, where she grew up idolizing Bruce Springsteen; after graduating with a degree in American history from Yale, she relocated to Texas, where in the years to follow she built a fervent fan following on the local club circuit. Featured on Jimmie Dale Gilmore's 1996 LP Braver Newer World and its subsequent tour, that same year Cutrufello self-released her solo debut Who to Love and When to Leave; the record resulted in a deal with Mercury, for whom she recorded When the Night Is Through in 1998.
