Marian Call is a composer and singer living in Juneau, Alaska. Her songs are eclectic and diverse, powerfully honest, and grounded in the human experience. She has toured the U.S., Canada, and Europe since 2007. She spends her time writing, recording, singing, and tweeting as hard as she can.
She released her first three albums, Vanilla, the Song of the Month Project, and Got to Fly in 2007 and 2008. In 2010 she undertook a tour of all 50 States and Canada. In 2011, she released her fan-funded double album Something Fierce. Marian successfully Kickstarted a European tour and live album, Marian Call: Live in Europe, released in March 2013. After the live album she continued touring internationally and releasing original songs (Sketchbook, Yippee Ki Yay) and covers (Marian Call Sings the Classics, vol. I and vol. II) at a rapid clip. Her largest studio project is a fan-funded record, Standing Stones. Most recently she released a short garage rock EP called Swears! (and for those less fond of explicit lyrics, a tamer version called Cuss!). Her Patreon is now an outlet for funding music and releasing new singles and cover songs.
Marian was born into a family of musicians in Gig Harbor, WA. She was raised on a steady diet of Bach, Beethoven, Joni Mitchell, Gilbert & Sullivan, Yes, Oscar Peterson, and They Might Be Giants. For over twenty years she studied music and performed with chamber choirs, jazz combos, early music ensembles, rock bands, gospel choirs, and experimental music groups; all of these influences (and more) meet and mingle in her own writing. She completed her degree in composition and vocal performance at Stanford University in 2004. After graduation, she spent two years pouring coffee, waiting tables, and listening to good music in Anchorage coffee shops, learning from the indie songwriting scene that blossomed worldwide with the advent of music on the internet.
Marian Call continues to write and record in Alaska and around the country. She loves connecting with fans everywhere, as well as friendly musicians, writers, and artists from all backgrounds.
