Marina Crouse Quintet with Garth Webber at The Sound Room – Oakland, CA

DON’T MISS THIS SHOW!!!Marina Crouse is one of the most notable talents on the San Francisco/Bay Area music scene. Her early classical training is reflected in her powerful and versatile vocal style that creates a genuine excitement in every performance. Her most recent music has focused on Boleros and Spanish love songs, but her early performances were singing the Blues and we are VERY EXCITED to have her perform again!

“A new voice as strong as the best blues singers of the past as she sings with the intensity of a Koko Taylor, heartbreak of Etta James, raw emotion of Big Maybelle… Marina Crouse has all it takes to be the next top lady of the Blues” ~ Noel Hayes, DJ at KPOO 89.5FM”Marina Crouse is long overdue her day in the sun. This big, delicious voice deserves to be heard! Really soulful.” ~Danny Caron, guitarist and former musical director with Charles Brown.Garth Webber is a Berkeley-based guitarist/singer, known internationally for his signature tone, who has played with Miles Davis, Gregg Allman, Bill Champlin, Mose Alison, Robben Ford, Boz Skaggs, Merl Saunders, Bob Weir, Doctor John and others.
