Mary Ann Rossoni (born in Johnston, Rhode Island ) is an American singer, songwriter and acoustic guitarist. She attracted some attention playing the US New England folk circuit from the late 1980s onwards. She released her first album, Half Slips & Garters, in 1996.

Rossoni's music is cross-generational, original, acoustic rock n' roll-or in today's terms, Americana-ish. Her music is very upbeat and inspirational-but she's known to throw in a few hard-luck-gut wrenching tunes into her sets for the weepy, pensive types. After all, her life isn't perfect.

As band leader, writer and lead vocalist, Rossini is not new to the music scene having toured for several years as a soloist and with her band. She was raised in Johnston, RI yet has called Providence her home since graduating from the Rhode Island School of Design with a degree in Illustration.

She is thankful to be a self employed artist and musician and likes it that way. She has a wide range of influences but attributes most to 70s rock and her all-time musical heroes: B. Springsteen, J. Mitchell, J.Taylor, G. Estefan and Yo Yo Ma-oh and let's not forget her 5th grade teacher Mr. Skitt.

Her first record in over five years and her third album overall, Timber & Nails, was released October 12, 2007. It is the sound of a songwriter growing cozy in her own skin. Her words and music come from the soul of someone who has finally, after a long search, discovered her identity as an artist. Prior to "Timber" Mary Ann has recorded 3 full length CDs: Downcity, Half Slips & Garters, and Waking Up from the American Dream; 2 EPs, Anonymous and Living with the Fury & the Fire; and has tunes on 5 compilation CDs: Fast Folk, Vo. 8, No.3; First Night '94; Lazy Day; Our Invincible Summer; and The 12 Steps of Christmas.
