Intelligent pop/rock with a folk influence, these songs are "four minute movies"--musical adventures ranging from somber to upbeat, from haunting to amusing, always thoughtfully crafted with excellent lyrics.
Bio / Background
Ira Marlowe's songs have been described as "four-minute movies", known for sophisticated wordplay and a wealth of visual detail. Marlowe grew up listening to his crazy mother's record collection, everything from The Beatles to Gershwin to Cat Stevens to Thelonius Monk to West Side Story. Once he began writing songs at 19, what emerged was an original and highly narrative style--vivid stories underscored with an adventurous sense of melody.
Since moving to San Francisco Marlowe in the early 90's, Marlowe has performed regularly throughout the Bay Area, playing such fabled venues as the Fillmore and Great American Music Hall, delighting audiences with his distictive voice and charismatic performing style.
He's won numerous awards, including the 2000 SF WEEKLY Political Song Contest, the Tower Records "Best of the Bay" song contest, the Napa Valley Music Festival, and a half-dozen Northern California Songwriters Association competitions.
