Great Reviews: I am the anti-Britney.
"Marian Call gave one of the best house concert performances we've ever had here at Whole Wheat Radio. Not only did she fully engage her audience with graceful ease and humor, but she truly stunned them with her vocal quality and control. I seldom receive phone calls the day after a performance - but Marian was so well-received that several people called to thank us for having her. We've had over 35 nationally touring performers in the last 3 years at Whole Wheat Radio ... no one made a more lasting impression on an audience than Marian Call."
- Jim Kloss, Whole Wheat Radio . (To hear the concert he's referring to, click here and scroll down to the links to the house concert by Marian Call. Free to stream or download.)
"...If I were a betting man, I would put my money on Marian Call. Vanilla is a Certified Desert Island Disc, and any other awards or monikers you can think to throw its way. It's the best thing I've heard thus far in 2008, and is one of the three best debut albums I've ever heard. Remember the day and time when you first heard about Marian Call, and get on the bandwagon soon. This star is going to burn bright." - Wildy Haskell , music reviewer & pop culture blogger (Wildy later named Vanilla his 1 release of 2008, out of over 600 new indie releases that he reviewed -- for that article, click here .

If you want to be really cool and host a concert in your home or business, I am still indie enough that we could make that happen! Your friends will think you're cool if you host a house concert or set up a radio interview for an artist like me. Write to me with any crazy concert or publicity ideas you might have. I've played at pool parties, bonfires, and barbecues, with rock bands, jazz bands, and early music ensembles -- and I'm waiting for a chance to add a bat mitzvah to the list.
Vanilla is looking for good homes with friendly people: cafés, record stores, galleries, bookstores, tapas bars, radio stations, any little retail venue that has good vibes. Do you have a favorite place you go when you're down and lonely? Would Vanilla like it there, too? Write to me about it. Good music and good people deserve to find each other.

I've gotten into the habit of playing Shindigs, Conventions, and Firefly meetups while I'm on tour. If you're having a meetup, or you want to, just write me anytime. I'll be playing a Browncoat meetup in LA on April 11th, in San Diego later in April, and at CSTS screenings in Austin and Dallas in May. Also, if any Anchorage or Alaskan Browncoats want to get organized, I'm happy to help provide a reason and resources!
Saffron Song: The original award-winning ode to Yo-Saff-Bridge, that fabulous nympho thievin' wench from Firefly, is available through Nimbit (on MarianCall.com ) for your downloading pleasure. "Vera Flew the Coop," "Dark Dark Eyes," "In the Black," "The Volvo Song," "Early is as Early Does," "Sugar Sugar Sugar," "Written on a Rainy Night," and "It's Good to Have Jayne on Your Side" are also Firefly songs -- some are on the new album, Got to Fly, though many of the best tunes can only be heard live in concert. So get out to one soon!
