About Me

What if Joni Mitchell got together with Leonard Cohen for a writing session at the coffeehouse where Counting Crows and Neil Young were playing, Jan Krist was singing, Tori & Fionna were pouting, Over The Rhine & Aimee Mann opened, and Santana stopped by to play some smokin' guitar... yeah, it sounds something like that...Marianne Kesler is a singer-songwriter, creating music from the inside out, and deeply immersed in living out her dreams. Marianne's new music has been described as "intelligent pop rock with experimental qualities & folk sensibilities". When not out touring, she is most likely home writing songs, poetry, and prose in her loft space where she lives with her husband John. Sign up below to get her monthly e-news updates!
