Marnie
possesses an extraordinary gift, seamlessly weaving
strands of ballads, torch songs and classic standards
into a vibrant fabric.
Her passion for music began
in Indiana with piano lessons at age 5. During her stint
with the Indiana University Children’s Choir,
her eclectic taste began taking shape singing classical,
folk and contemporary music. A highlight was a performance,
at age 12, with the IU Opera Theater. A profound influence
throughout her childhood and teen years were her step
dad's jazz albums, which provided backup as she developed
her own sassy style.
Marnie continued performing
throughout college, where she studied athletic training.
She's quite possibly the only person who can, at the
same time, tape an ankle and sing the national anthem,
all in under 2 minutes 20 seconds! Joe Williams once
said, “it’s not that you want to sing, it’s
that you have to sing.” After balancing two careers,
she soon gave up her “day job.” Marnie has
to sing!
Her
natural stage presence landed her appearances in regional
musical theater, talent showcases, show choirs, and
jazz bands. She's worked with the Voices of Bahá
Choir at Carnegie Hall and as a featured soloist with
the Savannah Symphony Orchestra. She currently studies
with voice coach Lynn Skinner.
Marnie lives in Denver, CO, with her husband and two
Siberian Huskies. When she's not singing, she's snowboarding
or mountain biking.
