What
happens when after years as a housewife, Marianne throws
down her apron, grabs her guitar and empties her heart
out on the kitchen table?
A pinch of rock, a dash of pop, a touch of country blues
and a generous portion of emotion, simmered and seasoned
with a gastronomical assortment of musicians and you have
got a delicious harmonious dish which will tantalize your
eardrums, cradle you with it's softness, than shake you
as it mirrors your own emotions like a cream pie in your
face!
What is the name of this experience? ''MARIANNE'S
KITCHEN'' of course! It goes without saying.
But who is this Marianne and where does she come from?
She was born in Belgium but raised in the U.S., in the
heart of New England's state of Connecticut. There she
was rocked with pop, blues, rock and folk music.
Perfectly bilingual in French and in English, it is
however in English that she prefers to express herself
musically. After 18 years in the States, it's the
language that she feels the most intimate with. Since her
childhood, music and singing have been her passion, but
it's only when she hits her 20's that she makes a timid
entrance on the professional scene which she will soon
leave to start a family. 10 years blow by before the day
comes when she realizes her life was not complete without
music. So she picked up her old guitar and started
writing her own songs.
What happened is that it felt pretty good! It sounded
pretty good too! She came to the decision that it was
about time to hop on the road in life that she had always
wanted to follow. So she took the cookie jar off the
shelf, dusted it off, and with the savings inside she
took her songs to a bigger kitchen, Impuls Studios. And
there, under the artistic supervision of Stephan Kraemer
and the help of many talented friends, the album ''White
Rose in the Rain'' was born. On the menu, 12 songs; 10 in
English and 2 in French.
After two years of travelling through the Brussel's
swamplands, looking for the right musicians,
indispensable ingredients for gastronomical music and on
her quest to finetune her ability to seduce her audience,
she throws out her old recipies, goes back into her
kitchen, spices up the sauce of 4 of her songs, adds a
new creation which will give a hint of the flavor that
will season the second album. This 5 track CD entitled
"MARIANNE'S KITCHEN", auto produced and pressed
in New York, is now being launched.
So now , please find a comfortable chair, turn on your
C.D. player and...
BON APPETIT!
