Marianne Dissard - NZ 2011 Tour

Tucson chanteuse Marianne Dissard releases new album 'L'Abandon' on Rythmethod with an eight cities 'music & film' solo NZ tour in April 2011.

Bio - French-born, Tucson-based chanteuse Marianne Dissard was born within sight of the Pyrénées mountains in the South of France but has been living in the American West since the age of 16. Singer, writer of lyrics and poetry, filmmaker and performance artist, Marianne Dissard tours extensively the world over, either solo or with her American bandmates. Over the course of four acclaimed albums, she has collaborated with Tucson’s sweethearts Calexico and Howe Gelb, as well as with her extended family outside of Arizona, including French chanteuse Françoiz Breut, Italian composer Christian Ravaglioli and Rhymesayers' BK-One.

NZ tour - When Auckland-based distributor Rythmethod released Marianne Dissard's album 'L'Entredeux' in 2010, with a first tour of the country that saw her team up with Flip Grater and Delaney Davidson, including a Sounday date in Christchurch, Marianne knew she would be back sooner than later to stunning New Zealand. For the release of her second album 'L'Abandon' (2011), also made available through Rythmethod, Marianne brings her 'music & film' solo performance to eight of her favourite New Zealand venues. With new songs and her album's zany companion film, 'Lonesome Cowgirls', a remake of Andy Warhol's 1968 Tucson western, expect a very French yet so Tucson evening with the charismatic performer, hailed as "one of the most poignant and versatile live performers you could ever hope to stumble across. Dissard commands an audience unlike many others” (Santa Barbara Independent/USA). Or to put it simply, “She’s just a damn good time” (Seattle Weekly/USA).
