Marian Call is a composer and singer currently living in Anchorage, Alaska. Her songs are eclectic and diverse, clever, funny and light on their feet, powerfully honest, and grounded in the human experience. Her compositions are half study & calculation -- half improvisational instinct. She tours the country writing, recording, and singing as hard as she can. She released her first three albums in fourteen months during 2007 and 2008. She is nearing completion on a new two-volume project titled Something Fierce.
Marian was born into a family of musicians and artists, and she was raised on a steady diet of Bach, Beethoven, Joni Mitchell, Tower of Power, and Ogden Nash in her hometown, Gig Harbor, Washington. Over twenty-odd years she has performed with chamber choirs, jazz combos, early music groups, rock bands, a gospel choir, and experimental music ensembles, and all of these influences (and more) meet and mingle in her own writing. She completed her bachelor’s degree in composition and vocal performance at Stanford University in 2004. After graduation, she spent two years pouring coffee, waiting tables, and listening to good music in Anchorage coffee shops, slowly learning about the craft of songwriting through osmosis and eventually through practice. She continues to write and record in Anchorage and around the country, and she looks forward to collaborating with friendly musicians, writers, visual artists, and filmmakers from all backgrounds.
