Hello and welcome to How Did I Get Here? From The Vault! Today, we go back to episode 847 with piano-playing, blues legend, Marcia Ball! Marcia takes us on a journey from her days in the 60's, playing Louisiana bars and dance halls to being a part of the 70's, cosmic music scene at The Armadillo in Austin to taking American blues music to the world. This show was originally released on 10/11/2019. Below are my original notes form the show.
Legendary, award winning blues artist, Marcia Ball is my guest for episode 847! Marcia is performing at The 9th Annual Swan Songs Serenade taking place on Sunday, October 20th at The Four Seasons Austin. She will be joined by special guests, Lou Ann Barton, Shelley King and Sarah Brown. Go to swansongs.org for tickets and more information. Marcia's latest album, Shine Bright is available where ever you stream and download your jams and you can always get physical copies, find out when she's playing and more at marciaball.com. We have a great conversation about growing up in Louisiana, the Austin music scene in the late 60's and early 70's, Freda And The Firedogs, passing on Jerry Wexler's offer, blossoming as a solo artist and much more. I had a great time getting to know Marcia. I'm sure you will too. Let's get down!
