  • Bio

    VOICES FROM THE UNDERGROUND- MARISA's THIRD ALBUM debuts at #4 on EURO AMERICANA CHARTS With the dust of the Australian continent firmly in her veins, travelling the nation with her family as a child, and the world since, has given her a bagful of life experience that would be at home in a Kerouac novel. Marisa Yeaman's strength as a writer lies in the ability to connect the contradictions of the lives we lead and polarise them into songs which stay with the listener long after the notes fade. If songs are a journal of the times we live in, then Marisa has been writing her own truth for most of her life. Her sound is her own, worn off the edges of country twang, the soulfulness of the blues and the literal sensibility of modern day folk. Add a voice drenched in real experience, rich from a roar to a whisper, and aching with passion and you begin to understand why Yeaman never quite fits squarely into any musical box. After many years work as a live musician in Australia, Marisa's self released debut album 'Pure Motive' in 2005 climbed to number 19 on the critic based Euro Americana Chart. Marisa's follow up album 'Roadmap Heart' in 2008, climbed to number 12. Now after many more miles, many notes and many songs, her highly anticipated third full length album 'Voices from the Underground' is due for release March 2011. -------------------------------READ MORE AT WWW.MARISAYEAMAN.COM 'Her songs are beautiful and personal tales that reach right into the heart of the listener, like the Dylanesk 'Amsterdam Rain' that was written in the Netherlands. She has a magnificent voice that reminds of Shawn Colvin and Eliza Gilkyson'- Heaven Netherlands 2009 FOUR STARS "The songs themselves, like the novels of Tim Winton, seem to be hewn from a specific sense of place, one that is universal, but nonetheless rooted" - AMERICANA UK "She has that essential ability to present a concept or feeling in the most precise package possible, saying, to paraphrase an old quote, 'the mostest,with the leastest'. Now that's the hallmark of good songwriting." - FREIGHT TRAIN BOOGIE (4 STARS) -USA "An amazing folksinger, destined to grow, capable of instilling impressions so rare, speaking of solitude, lost lovers, the passing of time, with an aura of poetry" Roots Highway - ITALY WWW.MARISAYEAMAN.COM

NEW ALBUM 'VOICES FROM THE UNDERGROUND' #4 ON THE EURO AMERICANA CHART With the dust of the Australian continent firmly in her veins, travelling the nation with her family as a child, and the world since, has given her a bagful of life experience that would be at home in a Kerouac novel. Marisa Yeaman’s strength as a writer lies in the ability to connect the contradictions of the lives we lead and polarise them into songs which stay with the listener long after the notes fade. If songs are a journal of the times we live in, then Marisa has been writing her own truth for most of her life. Her sound is her own, wornoff the edges of country twang, the soulfulness of the blues and the literal sensibility of modern day folk. Add a voice drenched in real experience, rich from a roar to a whisper, and aching with passion and you begin to understand why Yeaman never quite fits squarely into any musical box. After many years work as a live musician in Australia, Marisa’s self released debut album ‘Pure Motive’ in 2005 climbed to number 19 on the critic based Euro Americana Chart. Marisa’s follow up album ‘Roadmap Heart’ in 2008, climbed to number 12. Now after many more miles, many notes and many songs, her highly anticipated third full length album ‘Voices from the Underground’ debuted at number 4 on the Chart. This new album brims with stories of everyday people in several countries, characters who exist on the outside of the mainstream, the outsiders, misfits, and visionaries. She says, “In a world so often driven by consumption and acquisition, it sometimes feels everything is measured by it’s commercial value, or by potential advertising mileage. ‘Voices from the Underground’ looks beyond the veneer of society to tell some of the stories of people who are motivated by the ‘pure love or passion’ of what they do.” Yeaman is a touring artist who has played regularly in Europe, UK, USA and Australia, building a loyal audience for her work and she has opened for some of the most respected songwriters of our times like Tom Russell and Ron Sexsmith. Her music has had radio airplay in over 19 countries, and accolades from across the world. Marisa Yeaman is a truly independent artist, producing and releasing her own records and carving her own following through her captivating live performances. An authentic and intimate performer, she writes with the eye of a journalist, and the heart of a traveller. This female troubadour continues to traverse the world touching audiences large and small. 'Her songs are beautiful and personal tales that reach right into the heart of the listener, like the Dylanesk 'Amsterdam Rain' that was written in the Netherlands. She has a magnificent voice that reminds of Shawn Colvin and Eliza Gilkyson'- Heaven Netherlands 2009 FOUR STARS "Heartfelt and honest, roots based and lyrically strong second album. Amsterdam Rain is a pure lyrical delight. A record that grows and grows in stature with each hearing" FOUR STARS - MAVERICK UK - MAY 2009 TOP 3 "BEST FOREIGN FEMALE ARTIST OF 2006" - Alt.Country Cooking - The Netherlands 'ROADMAP HEART' Available right here(buttons on left), or at: WWW.MARISAYEAMAN.COM..
