About
Dallas-born, Chicago-based Marian Runk’s life-long fascination with storytelling evolved from book arts and comics to songwriting and performing. Her second album, Two Wires and a Spark (out September 2024), is filled with the powerful imagery you expect from someone with a diverse artistic background. Her lyrics explore loneliness, (mis)communication, grief, living alongside addiction, and road trips through the U.S. Sonically in the vein of Karen Dalton & Gillian Welch, Marian sings with wry wit and a clear voice.
