- Influences:
- I don't know that I influence anyone as of yet, but I'm sure someday I'll manage to get a song stuck in someone's head for so long that they call me an influence. Or a mild form of torture. In either case, I'm happy to help.
I had one idea about my childhood musical influences, but my parents had another. With their help I've drawn up a more truthful list than I would have published on my own:
Joni Mitchell
They Might Be Giants
Beethoven
Paul Simon
Ella Fitzgerald
Weird Al Yankovic
James Taylor
Gilbert & Sullivan operas
Stevie Wonder
The soundtrack of Les Misérables
Ogden Nash
Dr. Seuss
Bands I wish I could be in: Pink Martini, DMB, Harry Connick Jr.'s big band, Sufjan Stevens' joyful noise ensemble, Pamyua, Norah Jones' jazz/roots ensemble, Bob Schneider's Texas Bluegrass Massacre. - Band Interests:

Hi! My name is Marian, and I'm a lexiholic. I like singing in my car. And out of my car. And in other people's cars.

- A proper bio: Marian Call is hard at work reinventing, or possibly preinventing, her musical self. She has been singing in public since she was knee-high to a grasshopper, and since that time she has performed music in nearly every genre -- classical art song, musicals, gospel, pop, country, rock, folk, jazz, and all kinds of choral music.
