Keep Louisville Weird

Marion Square is made up of five young musicians from Louisville, Kentucky who have been hard at work on their music for the last few years. But the time has come for Marion Square to break out of the hometown and onto the world stage.

A few words to describe Marion Square: atmospheric, electroacoustic, at times mellow, other times intense, but always melodic. Their sound and approach to making music recalls the seventies. They have been called the new Fleetwood Mac. Others say Coldplay with female vocal. They worship Radiohead.

McCall Cruse leads the band with a vocal that is feminine and strong, a true rock singer for both the guys and the girls. Brent Wilkinson’s guitar arrangements paint the atmosphere. Brian Goodwin is the spiritual leader and lays a foundation of acoustic guitar together with drummer Ian Willmot’s laid-back, musical beat. John Gettlefinger supplies a solid bass style to complete the group‘s main elements. They are often times seen live with several guest artists that range from sax players, vocalists, string sections, and turntablists.

Marion Square is a band full of promise for the future, as all members are in their early twenties, and possess talent beyond their years. They float from instrument to instrument, with Ian now on guitar, maybe Brian or McCall on piano. Their material leaves one wondering how a group of artists so young can express a musicality so refined.

The band has been performing in and around Louisville for several years, and recently entered into a relationship with Label X to further develop their career. Production is completed on the first full-length album, Draw the Line, with producer Todd Smith (Days of the New, Smashmouth, Peter Searcy), and musical mentor Dan Weigleb co-producing. A full-scale touring and promotional campaign is setup and about to be launched.

No hype, no gimmicks, no press angle. Just four young musicians making their music, quietly insistent that there is a place in the world for their voice.
