We are self-taught artists who create work inspired by healing, nature, travel, and personal experiences. Growing up, art became a way for us to process emotions, express ourselves, and create spaces that felt meaningful and comforting.

"Marianne Flemming now makes the Midwest her home, but the
singer/songwriter's travels around the world, from the Caribbean to
Europe to South America have lent her folk-blues a singular style
ungoverned by race or region". Creative Loafing, Tampa, FL

Born and raised in South Florida, Marianne first got the music bug from
her father, a crooner from the big band era. She developed a love for
the eccentric and emotional aspects of song from listening to Jane
Siberry, Anita O'Day, OIngo Boingo, Howlin Wolf, Frank Zappa and many
others. Her music has been called both sensual and sweet, endearingly
funny, and soulfully insightful.

With the recent addition of a family, Marianne has settled down in
Madison, WI but she still tours Florida and the East Coast.

"Seekers of pleasant surprises would do well to examine Venetian Dream.
From Cafe Jazz poised and precise, to a brilliant mixture of ska, pop,
and country blues. Mapped out scats and playful torch singing produce
swinging ballads, quiet anthems, and tumbling post-bop jigs. Marianne
has melted years of experiance into a tidy package of pithy
memories....songs that are breezy and full of thought" - MaximumInk
