Marianne’s debut album, “From the Water”, showcased her talents as a singer and songwriter and demonstrated her incisive lyrics, gorgeous melodies and luminous voice. As a result, she is currently working in a highly anticipated new album on the way in early spring 2009.

Marianne currently is playing at major casino resorts regionally, such as the IP Casino Resort Spa with her band- Marianne and the République.

Marianne Allison
From the Water
Featured Download: "This World" MP3


It’s hard to believe From the Water is Gulf Coast singer-songwriter Marianne Allison’s debut CD. Her smoky, yet clear and enticing, vocal brings to mind Lucinda Williams or Sheryl Crow, and this eclectic mix of radio-ready, well-crafted pop songs demonstrates the musicianship of a seasoned vet.

The record is strung together by a generally upbeat tempo and lighthearted melodies that belie a deeper lyrical insight. From the jaded perspective of “Blink of an Eye” (“The past seems to sparkle in today’s shadows”), to the album’s cathartic crowning jewel “This World,” to a final message of faith on “It’s Not Too Late” (“Trust in time and only believe”), Allison expertly explores and puts to music the human condition. —
