Marina Rocks - NO COVER - Vinyl Release Party and Early Show at the Big Top!
About
Marina Rocks ROCKS the Early Show at Big Top for the vinyl release of her album S.O.S Texas!
NO COVER!
A native of Austin, Texas, Marina led the Houston power trio The Guppies, sharing stages with iconic acts like Aerosmith, Jethro Tull, Kansas, Deep Purple, and Joe Satriani. After going solo, she’s opened for luminaries such as Terri Hendrix, Lloyd Maines, Joe Ely, Hayes Carll, Shake Russell, and Jesse Dayton. Following the loss of her mother, Marina transformed profound grief into creative momentum by building her own home studio, dubbed Two-Fisted Pixie, and released the album Austin to Houston. Released in 2023, Texcentric is a six-song EP recorded in Houston, reflecting both classic roots blues and modern sensibilities.
Austin to Houston charts a deeply personal journey, underpinned by storytelling, social insight, and gritty conviction. Marina produced, engineered, and performed nearly every part herself—while notable collaborators include Lloyd Maines on pedal steel and others on bass and percussion. Marina’s third full-length LP S.O.S. TEXAS is a bold fusion of Texas boogie, Americana, country-rock, world-beat, and bluegrass. Reviews praise Marina’s authenticity, musicianship, and genre-blending style—likening her to Lucinda Williams yet with her own polished edge. Highlights include her fluid guitar, commitment to storytelling, and her “formidable edge that’s entertaining & she can play!
See what the press is saying:
"It's, quite frankly, an incredible album, but would you have expected anything else?"
...Dave Franklin/The Big Take Over
"All things considered, one of the year's best. Marina still rocks"
John Apice/Americana Highways
"Imagine if Lucinda Williams was hanging with Ray Wylie Hubbard in the 80's"
"Marina Rocks’ S.O.S. Texas proudly stands out from the (very) crowded rootsicana, dirt road, roots rock Americana landscape we regularly fear is becoming too corporate, too safe, and too homogenous."
...Donald Teplske/Fervorcoulee
