Maries Underground

A singer songwriter based in Red Wing, MN.   I perform solo and with The Double Down Daredevils, a Bluegrass/Americana band I started 8 years ago with Nathan Fjeld

As a songwriter I would describe my style as a storyteller, hopefully in the tradition of some of my songwriting influences such as Guy Clark, Verlon Thompson, Shawn Camp and others.   John Denver is another significant influence in my writing.    I tend to incorporate humor in many of my songs, but I think that each song should have some fundamental truth behind it.  The story itself may or may not be true word for word, but there should be a message that transcends the story itself.   That is what I strive for in my songs.  Not long ago someone came up to me after a show and said that I was Authentic.  That is the highest compliment to which I can aspire.
