Mariee Siou

Doors at 7:30 PM - Show at 8:00 PM

Mariee Siou is a poet and healer-singer in a tradition which predates the twentieth-century popular notion of the ‘singer-songwriter’—and speaks directly to the dire need in the modern world for us to reconnect with older and more honest ways of relating to ourselves; to our human and nonhuman kin; to the natural environmental cycles which sustain us and our extended Earth-family; and to the cultures, songs and lifeways that lie at the interface between all of these interwoven realities. She was born on the Humboldt coast in Arcata, California.

Mariee grew up surrounded and deeply touched by music—often going to bluegrass festivals and listening to her father’s bluegrass band—but held no particular personal musical ambitions. However, she taught herself to play the guitar at 18 while volunteering at a school for Mapuche children in Patagonia, Argentina, and wrote her first songs here while taking refuge from the Patagonia winds indoors. She continued finger picking and writing songs and made two home-recorded albums purely at the urging of friends. In 2007 she released her first studio album, Faces in the Rocks, on which she collaborated with Native American flautist Gentle Thunder and which achieved a dedicated cult following that would propel her career to this day. She began touring Europe, as well as North America, after being invited to open for the Psych Jam Band BrightBlack Morning Light on their nationwide tour in 2007 and has continued ever since.
