Marilyn Duncan is a veteran songwriter and performer who only recently brought her sound into the studio to release Old Friends and Lovers and Departures. She got her start on the burgeoning Austin music scene in the late 1960s, where she shared the stage with performers such as Allen Damron, Townes Van Zandt and Carol Hadine. Her life took her and her music to Dallas, Nova Scotia, and Maryland while she continued to write and perform before releasing her debut album in 2000. Her music is personal and contemplative, touching on folk, blues, jazz, and rock influences, and at times also reaches deep into the American past through family history. After the release of Old Friends and Lovers, Marilyn made regular appearances on the Washington D.C. area music scene, including many appearances at local festivals, Barnes and Noble, and FineWine.com. She is a regular performer at the annual National Cherry Blossom Festival in downtown D.C.. Attuned to her fans, Marilyn writes that "my favorite compliment as a performer is when someone sits down for a song at a festival and stays for the entire show - or comes back the next day to see me again."
