Ace Of Cups is an American rock band that was formed in San Francisco in 1967. They were one of the first all-female rock bands and gained recognition for their unique sound and talent. The band consisted of Mary Gannon on bass, Marilyn/Marla Hunt on organ and piano, Denise Kaufman (also known as Denise Jewkes) on guitar and harmonica, Mary Ellen Simpson on lead guitar, and Diane Vitalich (also known as Diane Hursh) on drums.

During their time together, Ace Of Cups showcased their musical prowess through powerful performances and captivating compositions. Their music resonated with audiences who appreciated their distinctive blend of rock, folk, and psychedelic influences.

Although the band disbanded in 1972, Ace Of Cups left a lasting impact on the music industry. Their contributions to the rock genre paved the way for future female artists to break barriers and pursue careers in a male-dominated industry. Today, they are remembered as trailblazers who defied conventions and created a space for women in rock music.

Ace Of Cups, the beloved all-women rock group from the late 60s Haight-Ashbury psychedelic scene, with their self-titled, debut studio album, produced by Dan Shea (Santana, Jennifer Lopez). This album includes both newly recorded songs written between 1965 and 1969 and new originals written over the past decade. The record features contributions from friends like Bob Weir (Grateful Dead), Jorma Kaukonen and Jack Casady (Jefferson Airplane, Hot Tuna), Taj Mahal, Buffy Sainte-Marie, and many more. During their original run from 1967 to 1972, Ace of Cups - Mary Gannon (bass), Marla Hunt (organ, piano), Denise Kaufman (guitar, harmonica), Mary Ellen Simpson (guitar), and Diane Vitalich (drums) - wrote and sang together as one of the area's first all-women bands, and they were known throughout the Bay Area for their instrumental mastery and social commentary-driven rock n roll; Jimi Hendrix even gave them a shout out in Melody Maker after they opened for him at Golden Gate Park. The band never officially recorded any music, and their only release was a 2003 compilation of informal recordings. Ace Of Cups is the first proper showcase of the band's freewheeling spirit that blends multi-colored rock with elements of roots and folk.
