Marjo, singer / songwriter from Covelo, California, has been writing and performing her original music for many years: an "Americana" mix of mood and style- swinging between latin grooves and pensive folk songs, from dusty road romps to thoughtful commentaries on what's going on "out there" - from gentle healing mantras to bluesy rockin' in-your-face-wake-up & smell the coffee!
Hearing Marjo singing "live" with the band- you can feel the energy: Life is short!- So what are we afraid of?! Get up- get over it and get on with it! And above all- Live through your heart before your mind!- Have courage!
... and don't forget to Dance!
