Marilyn's new CD, THE ROAD, debuted November 17, 2007 at Trinity House Theatre in Livonia, Michigan to a more than full house. Not only were people crammed like sardines, but the love and flowers filled the auditorium like never before. You may have caught her there previously, doing a fund raiser for Gleaner's Food Bank, a Neil Young Tribute Concert, performing with The David Nefesh Band, or the Astronauts of Love.

Marilyn, a performing songwriter, is a weaver of words and a painter of songs. Her lush velvety voice will leave you happily relaxed and filled with hope and comfort. Her songs will follow you home. She's more than a songwriter - - she's a philosopher.

Marilyn grew up singing harmony in the choir. At the age of eleven, she sat first chair in the orchestra and played before a crowd of three thousand in Sarasota, Florida. At 14, her family moved to Michigan and she bought herself a $14 guitar and taught herself to play using the Mel Bay Guitar book. She became a songwriter in high school when assigned the task of an interpretive writing. Armed with a Joan Baez song book, she became a folk singer.

At 19 she took her new guitar and headed across the country singing in Nebraska, California and Arizona, where she married, had a child before heading back to Michigan as a single mom.

The first time her daughter dislocated her arm, it took all the rent money to pay the doctor's fee. That's when it became obvious that despite playing for an hour, live on WDET radio, and bringing in $820, it was time to do more than tend bar and sing for a living to be able to raise a child alone.
