Marcella Simien

"A ninth-generation Louisiana Creole, Marcella’s music takes the swamp roots of her upbringing and mixes it with some sweet Memphis soul."

— NPR

"Simien draws each note like a prayer and then releases it into the world like a blessing. Which is exactly what this music is."

— Charles Hughes
(No Fences Review)

"A raw, emotive, powerful mix delivered with a rare blend of genius and humility."

— Mike Bradley (Music Love Music)

"To hear music as intense, as moving, as powerful as Simien’s is nothing less than a privilege."

— Mike Bradley (The Guardian)

"One of the most exciting talents in the city."

— Bob Mehr
(The Commercial Appeal)
