All’s Well is the debut EP from Philly indie rock singer songwriter, Maria Mirenzi. This is her first release as a solo artist, but it is far from her first time creating her own music. When Maria was a kid, she played in the school band, wrote songs and poetry for friends and listened to early ‘00s and ‘10s indie rock on mixed tapes and CDs. She even went to music college, but fully admitting that she was a songwriter and artist at heart didn't happen until much later. Through ruminating and experimenting, Maria has cultivated a sound that is purely hers, and now she is finally ready to share it with you.

The 6-song EP, All’s Well, was written and recorded between 2019 and 2025, which was a time not without its challenges. Maria navigated a band break-up, a pandemic, apartment hunting and career changes all while figuring out her new sound as a solo artist – honing her skills on electric guitar and writing constantly. Through it all emerged an evocative and arresting voice and a vulnerable songwriting style that tells you a story. With a trained background in jazz and classical music, Maria combines her rich harmonic vocabulary with her love of rock, pop and folk music and is influenced by indie artists like Madison Cunningham, Jesca Hoop, Andy Shauf and Hayley Williams.

The first single from the EP, “Suburban Nightmare”, touches upon what it means to get more comfortable as we age. Should we resist the urge to relax or always stay on edge for the sake of appearances? “Let It Steep” is her heartbreaker about the steeping indecision of leaving someone you once loved. “Lois Lorraine” is her social anxiety following her to every party in her 20s and “All’s Well” is her hard outer shell telling people that everything is okay, when beneath it all, she is screaming. With each song, the listener enters a new cathartic soundscape – weaving guitars, reverberant wormholes and Maria’s soothing yet growling vocals. All’s Well stops you in your tracks, forcing you to reckon with yourself.

These songs took their time to become fully realized, and there are many people who helped get them there. The EP was produced, recorded, mixed and mastered by Grammy Award winning engineer Matt Poirier and features musicians Sean Markey and Max Kulicke on guitars, Lew D’Avanzo on bass, and Adam Shumski, Shane Luckenbaugh, Austin Wagner and Jason Treuting (So Percussion) on drums.  Maria is responsible for the vocals, guitars, synths, piano, clarinet, saxophone, co-production and songwriting.

“The hope is that people can see themselves in these songs and the emotional worlds they contain. And through that, I hope people can relate to me and to one another. We all have shared life experiences, and I think that doing things together, like going to a show or listening to a record in your living room, reminds us of our collective experience and power to empathize. Music is important now more than ever, especially while living in a world that’s dampened by social media, AI and all the other modern horrors. We need reminders of our connection to one another. We’re all we have.”


Maria has played as a session musician on a bunch of records including mewithoutYou’s “Ten Stories”, which she later found out features Hayley Williams (!).  She has also opened for punk rock legend Bob Mould at Camden County’s Sundown Series.
