Marcia Ball

Artist Description

Performances on NPR's A Prairie Home Companion, World Café and Whad'Ya Know?, as well as Public Radio International's Studio 360 and the nationally syndicated Mitch Albom Show.

Singer/pianist Marcia Ball knows how to raise roofs and tear down walls with her infectious, intelligent and deeply emotional brand of southern boogie, rollicking, roadhouse blues and heartfelt ballads. Over the course of her three-decade career, Ball has earned a huge and intensely loyal following all over the world. Her exquisite piano playing and passionate, playful vocals fuse New Orleans and Gulf Coast R&B with Austin's deep songwriting tradition into a sound No Depression described as "a little rock, a lot of roll, a pinch of rhythm and a handful of blues."

"A sensational, saucy singer and superb pianist... where Texas stomp-rock and Louisiana blues-swamp meet"
