Kari Marie At the cabooze jammin' Zeppelin

Add to My Profile | More Videos
"Whole Lotta Love" by Led Zeppelin.....featuring Kari Marie (piano, vocals), Aaron Dizon (bass), and Jason Fladager (guitar) and Royce Rock (drums) of God Johnson. Live from the Cabooze in Minneapolis 3/7/07
Kari Marie has been playing piano since her early years, and singing for nearly as long as she remembers. Only until her college years did she discover that she could create vocal lines to accompany the tunes she was creating at the piano. Since then, there was no looking back. She is very heavily influenced by the female pianists of our time---Tori Amos, Fiona Apple, even Lorie Line---drawing inspiration from their works and success. As of most recently, she has begun to explore incorporating styles and rhythms from genres that have been atypical to the piano player, finding wonderful energy from such bands as Led Zeppelin, Umphrey's McGee, Tool, and John Butler Trio.
Thank you so much to all who have been supportive thus far in my musical endeavors...a bug hug to all of those who have listend to my workings at the piano. I promise there will be much more to come!
