Marie Anderson
And last, but certainly not least, Marie Anderson returns to our stage and will close out our 2021 season!
“I play a little of everything! I don’t ever want to be known for a specific genre of music. I have no aspirations of “making it big”, I just want people to be able to feel it like I feel it. Im just happy to be out there doing what I love – playing music. I play what I like, and I like a variety of styles. I think if I ever had to limit myself to a specific genre, I’d lose some of the passion I have. ”
