Album Notes

Marney's first solo release "Again" was released in June of 2006. Created for and dedicated to the Irish dance community, the record has enjoyed much success. Marney is proud to be an active part of the Irish community in Nashville, TN, and is on the board of Irish Arts of Middle Tennessee.

Marney is Atlanta born and raised but lived for a number of years in the Frankfurt, Germany area where her career in music truly began. Marney's background is classically based with a degree in classical Music Performance for Flute and Piccolo, and a minor in piano. Celtic music was a welcome relief from the hectic and extremely competitive classical world which she found herself bound to and yearning to extricate herself from. Learning tunes by ear, though challenging, changed her perception of her instruments and her performance and continued to develop her technical and melodic abilities. A former dancer, Marney's exposure to Irish step dance and the greats in Irish music, such as Lunasa, Altan and Dervish, led her to begin crafting her own unique sound that is a blend of electronica and celtic music, and influences such as Radiohead, VAST, U2 and Tori Amos are evident. Production and programming are the red thread of Marney's project (13B) and the talents of her producer Brett Hardin at Olive Bar Studio and her own engineering skills bring her sound to brilliant life.

Praise for "Again!":

Wow. I just got through listening to the cd on the way home and Wow. I could not get as good a listen to it in the pub as I could in the car and Wow. Brilliant. It is so good, so cool, so lovely. And so cool the way you organized it - truly a cd by a dancer for dancers!!! It's great to listen to or to dance to. I am very excited to share it. ~Rebecca, Nashville, TN
