About Me |
|
| When her boyfriend categorically refused to teach her to play guitar, Marnie Mains broke up with him & taught herself. Actually, she stole his guitar first and then broke up with him. She still has it. Hes long gone.Marnie’s stomping ground is the human condition and it should come as no surprise that she is adamantly honest, a little ironic and certainly complex. And while her music is angelic, soft and captivating, Marnies lyrics are not so anodyne. Theyre witty, thought provoking and true, and she is certainly no stranger to the double-entendre.Having attracted audiences from London, England to Las Vegas, Nevada, Marnie has toured predominantly alone with that pilfered guitar. Gracing stages such as the Opera House, the El Macombo, Healey’s and the Reverb, she’s been tearing it up in the Canadian music scene..Opening up for bands such as Swollen Members, Glass Tiger, the Daughters, and the Corb Lund Band, the Vancouverite has also had National television exposure on CBC’s Music Dream where she beat out 1000 other applicants to secure the time slot. Recently recording with talent from the Mars Volta, she has been an entire choir of vocals behind Devon Townsend and Strapping Young Lad. Her latest EP she independently produced with Daniel Powter’s producer, Jeff Dawson.Marnie recently came back from Las Vegas where she played The Palapa Lounge at the Palms, The Joint at The Hard Rock Hotel & Brendan’s Pub at The Orleans. At The Joint, swishy industry types fell for her like the rest of us. Justin Timberlake’s producer called her "mesmerizing", "profound" and a "beautiful singer". We already knew that though, didn’t we? Marnie Mains on SellaBand SellaBand is a new and innovative and truly brilliant take on music distribution and production. It is completely fan-based, entirely genuine in nature and is redefining the musical process completely from promotion to production to distribution. Fans all over the world have the power to support the artists they love by investing. Music is distributed free, without limitations.How it’s done? You become a believer by donating $10 to your favourite artist(s). You recieve a signed limited edition copy of the artist’s record once produced, and, while the music from this new record is downloaded for free by anyone who wants it (world wide), the Ad revenues (from ads on the download pages) are divided amongst the investors along with standard edition CD sales. Suddenly you are part of the music industry.. Fancy that! whaddya say? sounds good from all sides, doesn’t it?! .. |
