From Alaska to all the other United States -- from the 49th to all 50. Booking is now open for this ambitious DIY tour, powered entirely by fans, friends, and people who believe that good music is worth it. No agents, labels, or middle men required. Read the announcement on Marian's blog here.
Marian will drive out of Alaska around May 15th and attempt to play in every state, coming to homes and venues requested by fans. The goal is to meet listeners up close and share the good news: that art should be for everyone.
The tour calendar below represents a tremendous community collaboration underway. Take a look to see when Marian will be in your area. To request a concert near you, e-mail Marian to propose a city or venue. To bring Marian to your doorstep, propose a house concert.
