Wedding Day Poster

As a classically trained violist who hardly ever plays classical music, Marla Hansen has performed with Sufjan Stevens, My Brightest Diamond, Oneida, Inlets, Smokey Robinson, Alice Coltrane, Duncan Sheik, Jay-Z, and Kanye West. She also recently had a rather surreal run-in with Il Divo on the Today Show, after which she concluded that, for artistic and moral reasons, she never wants to play with II Divo again. Her affiliations with all of these artists have led her to perform at such venues as Radio City Music Hall, Lincoln Center, Tonic, Nashville's Ryman Theater, New Orleans' House of Blues, and on Saturday Night Live and Austin City Limits. Wedding Day is an EP of six songs written by Marla Hansen. Although she does sing and play guitar throughout the entire recording, she is not quite ready to trade her viola for a guitar, and many of the songs feature her plucked viola as the primary instrument. Wedding Day runs the gamut from soft, spacious, folksy songs to upbeat, quirky pop. Marla Hansen's honey-sweet voice weaves multiple instrumentations, background vocals, and hand percussion together to give listeners the feeling they are in the room with her and her band. Guests include members of Inlets, My Brightest Diamond, Antony & The Johnsons, and Locksley.
