Marian Godwin Singer/Songwriter/Rhythm guitar has had an unusual trajectory into music. Her singing training was in musicals in NY but when she auditioned for a rock cover band in NYC, on a whim she immediately got hooked into learning how to sing in a band. For the past 15 years she has been writing songs but her love for playing music is the collaborative process and how the music evolves as a collective group. We are connected to each other in such a powerful way, and how often healing, community, humanity shows up through music in good times and bad. “Where words fail, music speaks.” C. Anderson
