Coming Soon To A Town Near YOU!

Welcome

Marisa Quigley is an award-winning Australian blues/roots singer and songwriter, solo artist, and cabaret performer. With her charismatic stage presence and powerhouse delivery, the husky-voiced chanteuse has drawn comparisons with Janis Joplin and Bonnie Raitt.Absolutely at home on the stage, with her irreverent wit and deft lyricist, Marisa has audiences in stitches one minute, and moved to tears the next.

Her songwriting influences are as diverse as Tom Waits and The Eagles, and her songs span the gamut from haunting to heartfelt to hilarious. With an eclectic blend of blues/roots and alt-country/folk, a wink and a nudge, a tickle and a poke, her act is soulful, fun, endearing—and highly entertaining.

Forte music magazine has described her as “Possibly the blackest white woman since Janis Joplin”, and Triple J Roots & All presenter Sarah Howells has praised her live performances, saying, “Amazing voice. I’ve seen Marisa live a few times and she absolutely rocks it.”

The Chitter-chatter of a Meaning-making Mind

Publicity is the key at this point, selling yourself and selling your show, amongst the hundreds of other Fringe acts vying for media attention, and the key to THIS is rising above the self-doubt and self-concern, putting on my business brain, being bold and taking action.
