Once a full time oboist with the Nashville Symphony, multi-instrumentalist / singer /songwriter/improvisor Marianne Osiel can be heard on hundreds of recordings. During the years she was with the symphony, she also lead her own blues-pop band, the “Delta Elements”. Additionally, she has performed as a “sideman” for other artists, including John Hall (Orleans), Jo-el Sonnier, Ashley Cleveland, Rachel Sage, and others, with slide guitar, voice and oboe. She has written and recorded string quartet arrangements for songwriters who recognize her ability to weave in and out of a lyric.
