Since then, Marie has played throughout Manhattan in a wide range of venues, including the prestigious Carlyle Hotel, The Monkey Bar and The Bitter End.

She provides all vocals and instruments, with the exception of brass and woodwinds. Her second CD, "This Time from the Heart," is a collection of 13 originals and 22 cover songs. "Double Shots", "Covers & Creations", "Holiday Hits and Songs For All Seasons", all five are available on itunes.
