A passionate songwriter and a diversely talented musician (oboe, flute, piano, voice, and strings), Marianne found her songwriting “voice” out of her classical roots. Soon after music school, she headed to Nashville, where she played by day in the Nashville Symphony, while by night played her original music with her own band (with slide guitar), sang backup with such artists as Ashley Cleveland, Gary Nicholsen, Delbert McClinton, John Hall, Jonelle Mosser, cowrote with songwriters Alan Miller, Ray Kennedy, Johnny Neel, or Lisa Aschmann.
