Mary Margaret Cozart is an indie rock singer/songwriter from Atlanta, Georgia.
Drawing upon roots from Alabama to North Carolina, her love for songwriting is explored through a grounded southern tone. With classical training from the University of Georgia, Cozart bends narrow technique to punctuate her sweet, yet often dissonant melodies.
Since embarking on the Athens music scene in 2019, Cozart has performed locally across Georgia and released her 5-song EP “Emerald City” (2021), followed by singles “Georgia to California” (2021) and “Interior Design” (2023).
Cozart’s newest single, “Maggie’s World”, marks a return to her Atlanta hometown, where she continues to perform and pursue her craft.

“Cozart wrote and recorded her debut EP, “Emerald City,” during the pandemic. The five songs feature arrangements that are dreamy like Oz’s slumber inducing poppy fields, and guitar phrases that shimmer like the domes of the Emerald City. The songs on the record draw a parallel between her life during quarantine with Dorothy’s experiences in Oz.” — Christopher Berinato, Savannah Now

“What’s immediately and thoroughly grabbing is her deft guitar playing, which holds down the rhythm just fine but shines with trills, fingerpicking and more.” — Gordon Lamb, Flagpole Magazine
Cozart’s melodic voice seems to address the listener directly, offering both understanding and encouragement to find the strength to reclaim our lives after this forced hiatus.” — Sydney Amling, VinylMag
“Cozart’s voice is solidly and reliably based around a nice mid-range and her work around this base adds a sense of gravity to her vocals” — Gordon Lamb, Flagpole Magazine
