Live Music: Marina Vanoff and Ari Pappalardo

Los Angeles based singer-song writer Marina Vanoff toes the line of balancing punchy production with tender songwriting, bringing to life a modern and energetic take on indie alt-rock. Although originally from Los Angeles, Marina grew up moving around for most of her childhood, leading her to find her passion in music. Since she was never in one place long enough, she turned to writing songs and listening to music, finding solace in the escape artists such as Mazzy Star, Alice In Chains, and Fiona Apple provided. She hopes her audience can find comfort and community in her music, as she did from her childhood inspirations. Marina’s style is influenced by 90’s alternative rock, filled with 8th note power chords and chunky baselines. Her writing shines with soft melodies and vulnerable lyrics, revealing honesty and truth in her music. Marina is currently working on her debut album, Bones Baby, which is slated for a release later this year.
