Live & Local is a free, community-centered music series celebrating the artists who live and create right here at home, with select Thursday evenings hosted by a different local musician bringing their own sound, collaborators, and creative vision to the stage. This is a pass-the-hat event—please help support and show your appreciation for the featured artist by contributing what you can.

For our February 12th edition, Alise Marlane will play a set of her originals prior to joining in with Acoustic Hearts Collective for a set of heart-warming and soul-stirring poetry and music.

Alise Marlane, Singer-Songwriter Local singer-songwriter Alise Marlane writes and performs thoughtful, playfully lyrical, jazz-infused folk to accompany your mood of contentedness and melancholy.

In addition to playing alongside James Stephens with poetry troubadours, Ilse Turnsen and Mary Lou van Schaik, you might have seen her around town playing in acoustic trio Paugan Dames; or as a part of the Ottawa Tom Waits review ensemble "Songs from a Drunken Piano".
