Singing a modern version of Tom Paxton's "Daily News":

This song came from Barack Obama's speech in Minnesota back in June:

@ Freddies Backroom:

Buy the music on CD Baby.

Ali is a Seattle-based songwriter who tours the country singing songs for people. She has sang at festivals around America, including CMJ, Northwest Folklife Festival, and Noise for the Needy. She has sang in lots of awesome joints, like the Bluebird Cafe in Nashville, IOTA Cafe in Virginia, the Evening Muse in Charlotte, the Starry Plough in Berkeley, the Experience Music Project in Seattle. She runs her own label and produces her own music and books her own tours. She also writes her own press releases, and talks about herself in the third person. Below is the most recent release.

the great migration

this fever is a restlessness/ shaken only by migration.
So says C. Felder, the writer of liner notes. Liner notes? Why the need for superfluous narrative? Aren’t thirteen songs enough? It turns out that it’s never enough, which is the ultimate story of “The Great Migration.”

Ali Marcus is a Seattle-based songwriter with a new record. Her sixth release on Turtle Rock Records, “The Great Migration,” surpasses the clarity and simplicity of earlier work; it finds calm in the complexity and wisdom in the waiting. It finds not peace, but some courageous sibling, something like feverish faith.

Appropriately titled, “The Great Migration” amplifies Marcus’ talent as a continually burgeoning, confident songwriter.
So says R. McCown, the reviewer of music. Of the biggest change, the new band, the collection of talent that includes members of Spoonshine, the Whisky Swillers, and the Angels of Sin, McCown thinks it sounds good on her! The sounds are groovy blues, swingin’ country, straight-up folk, and all the dirty fringes that lie therein. Something like Patty Griffin cooked up in a stew with Pete Seeger, Carole King, and Aimee Mann.

Ali’s earlier albums have earned accolades from Harp Magazine, the Seattle P-I, and NPR’s “All Songs Considered.” Across the board, she wins high marks for her songwriting and lyrical skill. With a band, “The Great Migration” brings her songs to fruition – something that folks have been waiting for all this time.

In the past year, Ali has toured in 15 states, including NYC’s CMJ, Nashville’s Bluebird Café, DC’s IOTA Café, Cambridge’s Lizard Lounge, Berkeley’s Starry Plough, and Seattle’s Experience Music Project. She has recently wrapped up a four-month tour of the Pacific Northwest with a trip to Oregon and California, hitting up places like the Makeout Room in San Francisco, the East Village in Monterey, and the redwoods along the way.

And the poet C. Felder asks the question:
this fever sets distant, spreading fire/ to the knotted old desires left hanging on a wire.
yet, should this bird swallow applause/ for the gallery work on pedestals
while the great war knocks along the shores outside?

Look for a massive east coast tour to support the new release, beginning in April. For complete details on Ali’s news, please visit www.alimarcus.com
