the Marianne Grittani Trio

Marianne Grittani is a seasoned performer, whose live performances range from lively to intimate and are always completely engaging. She exudes musicality as she presents original and cover acoustic music infused with rhythm, well-crafted lyrics and soulful, compelling vocals. Her songwriting style is informed by swing, R & B, country, blues, gospel and folk; all of those flavours can be savoured in her work as she makes them authentically her own. A multi-instrumentalist herself, Marianne delights as a solo performer and ups the ante with more musical texture when playing with Rose Birney on mandolin, harmonica, percussion and harmony vocals and Tyler Lieb on electric and pedal steel guitar, both of whom will be joining her for her debut performance at Pagliacci’s on March 2 at 9:45 pm. Her album Into the Shimmering was nominated for a West Coast Music Award and received international airplay. To see her live is to become a fan.
