MARNI RICE "Singing entirely in French, and at times coming eerily close to Piaf, Rice is captivating even to those who don't speak the language" writes the Greenwich Village Press. Marni is a native New Yorker who relocated to Paris to develop her craft of the French Chanson. She has provided live music for theater and dance at the Festival D'Avignon (France), The Tribune Festival Stuttgart (Germany), The Cultural Festival of Tuscany (Italy), and performed the songs of Edith Piaf on Hungarian National Radio. Her solo show Songs of an Immigrant is a series of tales based on her experiences living and performing in Paris, and was presented at theater festivals in Germany and Canada. In the United States she has performed live music in theatrical productions with Ann Bogart, and Tom Fontana (Oz), and The Lincoln Center Performing arts series Principally Poulenc. "Rice sings songs of vodka and velvet...a convincing presence. Her narrative flair and dry, comedic timing are a smart balance to the smoldering cabaret tunes she delivers" - New York Post. "A natural actress" - Talkin' Broadway. www.marnirice.com
