Browncoat songstress Marian Call is about the best there is. If you've gotta put a genre on her, I'd probably throw her in a sort of a jazz style, but much more accessible than the stuff you hear on NPR. When she first released a Quantum Mechanix commissioned album themed around Firefly and BSG, no one had heard of her outside of Anchorage. Today, she's a favorite of Wil Wheaton and the geek gods of Wootstock. Throw your support her way and get her new album, Something Fierce! What I've heard of it so far is dang good!  You can stream it online for free, purchase it through her website, or now you even have the option to purchase it on Amazon.  So, add it to your wishlist for the holidays!

The Marian Call concert was a blast and I was excited to see so many folks show. It was a great atmosphere and Marian and her guitarist, Scott Barkan were very friendly and gracious. With our 10 people alone we brought in $200 for the Wildhorse Ranch, not counting what we spent on drinks (total I think they brought in at the very least twice that). The Wildhorse Ranch Rescue spends over $4000 a month to take care of the abused and abandoned horses in their care, so every penny is valuable to them. They're wonderful people and I hope we can do some work with them again in the future. Make sure to visit their website and find out a little more about what the local organization does.
