MARCIA HOWARD FOR A UNIQUELY CRAFTED SHOW CELEBRATING HER INTRIGUING
MUSICAL LIFE. House of Song opens up the treasure trove of memories in
a theatre-style performance encompassing stories, photos and songs.
MARCIA WARMLY SHARES HER EXPERIENCES AS a member of the iconic
award-winning GOANNA BAND and it’s ground-breaking song Solid Rock,
written by her brother Shane HOWARD. From growing up in her south-west
Victorian musical family through to the 1980’s and her years on the
road, life, love, identity, loss, and redemption are all relatable
parts of MARCIA’s journey through song. The audience is encouraged
to sing along throughout the show. "My mother, Teresa Madden was a
singer and pianist. I grew up in a house of song and it was full of
music, stories, laughter and harmonies! Every time I perform the show
I hope to create that house of song with the audience”, she says.
MARCIA SHARES HER EXPERIENCES AS ONE OF THE YOUNGEST WOMEN ON THE ROAD
WITH GOANNA in the 1980’s male dominated Australian music industry.
She recalls the influence of her introduction to Aboriginal AUSTRALIA
and the friendships forged over the years that have informed her
relationship to country and to place. This knowledge deepened
MARCIA’s connection with Ireland, the land of her ancestors where
she has spent a lot of time recording and performing with Irish
artists. She has graced the stage with many international artists over
her long career and shares behind the scenes stories, images and
songs. From Mary Black to Bob Dylan, James Taylor, The Chieftains and
back home to Archie Roach , her voice has been described as “one of
the finest” ( The Voice, Season 5) and her songs recorded in
Ireland, Nashville, and AUSTRALIA reflect her Celtic and folk-rock
influences. This is your last chance to see MARCIA PERFORM HER UNIQUE
SHOW BEFORE SHE HEADS OFF TO IRELAND TO PERFORM HER SONG, Poison Tree,
with the legendary Mary Black and the Irish National Symphony
Orchestra this March in Dublin. MARCIA HAS ALWAYS SUNG OUT FOR
JUSTICE. She has witnessed change through political song throughout
her long career. As an ambassador for the Ruby Hunter Legacy,
Mothers’ Milk Bank Charity, MARCIA ATTENDED THE Yaama Ngunna Baaka
Corroboree Festival held in Outback New South Wales last October and
co-wrote, “Save the Rivers, Yaama Ngunna Baaka ”. All proceeds
from the download of the song go to the MMBC and the rivers. Don’t
miss this rare, intimate show at CAMELOT LOUNGE. “I felt like I was
in MARCIA’s LOUNGE ROOM HEARING HER STORY AND IT WAS LIKE WE WERE
HAVING A CONVERSATION. We felt included as an audience and we were
encouraged to sing along right from the start, there was no division
between artist and audience. Everyone helped out when Dad’s
projector failed at one stage! A brilliant show with relatable songs
and stories that are known to me. She has lived! Passion and purpose
come together in this inspirational show!” -Rosie May-McSween
