MARAH ON TOUR IN THE USA! FEBRUARY 2009
Happy New Year! We are pleased to announce our first US Tour since the release of 2008’s critically acclaimed “Angels of Destruction!” Although we are currently at Sixteen Ton Recording Studio in Nashville with our old friend Ray Kennedy mixing up a fantastic new record, it is our New Year’s wish to return to the nightclubs this February to warm up new material and celebrate the old songs. After a year of touring Europe and the UK, we feel this is long overdue and we are anxious to reunite with our American fans.
Despite the absence of brother Serge Bielanko who is on maternity leave (it’s a girl!) Marah will be touring as a folkypunkrock four piece: Dave Bielanko (lead vocals/guitar/banjo), long-time member Christine Smith (piano/bvs/accordian), and introducing stateside… Brooklyn’s one and only Johnny “whaddyagot?” Pisano on the stand-up bass, and the great Martin Lynds from Nashville on the drums. Expect shows to be long, comprehensive sweaty affairs…
Viva la future!
Go-bama!
More banjo!

Where’s Minneapolis?!? We were on the last tour that was cancelled… I’m bummed – it’s been too long. Having faith is making me old faster than I should be.

Arrrrgh! I second SalDeville!!! Where’s the Minnesota LOVE? Don’t make me drive 5 1/2 hours to Iowa City! You’re so close – I see you have the 15th open still …. we’re right on the way to Nebraska. Sort of.
