Short Bio: Marian Call delivers whimsical Alaskan folk funk for the Coffee Counter-Culture. She sounds a little like Joni Mitchell & Regina Spektor raising the child of Jason Mraz & Erin McKeown. Call's sound is always soulful, honest, and clever, loved by all types -- computer geeks, church ladies, teenage thugs, NPR listeners, and urban hipsters worldwide. She has toured all 50 United States and most of Canada, yet despite her incessant touring stays rooted in Alaska for inspiration. On October 1, 2011, Call released her much-anticipated fan-funded double album Something Fierce.
Long Bio: Marian Call is a trained composer and a spunky self-taught singer based out of Anchorage, Alaska. Her songs are eclectic and diverse, funny and light on their feet, powerfully honest, and grounded in the human experience. Call's compositions are half study and calculation, half improvisational instinct, and always full of unexpected musical twists and turns. She has written pieces by commission for film projects and events, and she has been known to write songs on dares or to surprise devoted fans.
Her live shows have been loudly applauded nationwide in homes, quiet coffee shops, noisy bars, churches, radio stations, bookstores, and concert halls, in all fifty United States and across Canada. Marian released her first two albums plus fourteen singles in only fourteen months during 2007 and 2008. On October 1, 2011, Call released her much-anticipated fan-funded double album 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. Marian tours to bring shows to her fans as much as possible, including her 49>50 Tour in 2010, a fan-coordinated tour of the entire United States organized on Twitter and Facebook. Despite all her wandering Marian remains committed to the development of a great arts scene in Alaska. Marian can't wait to tour again and meet new fans as well as friendly musicians, writers, visual artists, and filmmakers from all backgrounds.
