Amanda Pearcy’s music is rooted in in her hardscrabble history, authentically grounded in her earthy, soulful voice. Testifying to her southeast Texas upbringing, and her resilience in the face of some of life’s tougher lessons, Pearcy’s songs carry a sense, and the sensuality, of the South.

Her 2015 release and third album with producer Tim Lorsch, An Offering, was #1 on the prestigious EuroAmericana Chart’s 2015 Year End List as well as #1 on their Oct and Nov monthly charts. It was one of Texas Music Magazine’s 2015 Albums of the Year, and Pearcy was also selected as one of the "Texas Music 10: Singer Songwriters of Distinction” in their Winter ’16 issue. Her 2013 release, Royal Street, spent three months at #1 & #2 on the EuroAmericana Chart, and was #7 on the chart’s 2013 Year End List. Amanda and both albums, An Offering and Royal Street, were John Conquest's picks for Songwriter and Album of the Year in his 3rd Coast Music's Best of 2015 and Best of 2013.

Most of the songs on An Offering were written during a transitory year and a half after the success of Royal Street. Living on the cusp of homelessness, Pearcy cared for travelers’ homes in exchange for a temporary roof over her head, while a beloved family member was incarcerated in the oldest prison in Texas. It is not surprising that imagery from hearth and home and snapshots from the urban landscape are evident in the songs on An Offering, exploring freedom and confinement on the home front, as well as what we reveal about who we are by what we hide, what we give up, and what we offer. The songs culminate into a blissful sigh in the instrumental reprise of the title track, showcasing Tim Lorsch’s gorgeous strings.

"...Instantly recognizable as a hugely talented complete individualist... full of originality and diversity... that complete individuality of style sets her apart..." -American Roots UK

"A songwriter in the top division of her generation. Her writing makes me think not only of Lucinda Williams, but also of Tom Russell, Jason Isbell, and Gillian Welch." - Rootstime

"Her songs, at times delivered with a tender fragility, and sometimes with a raw punchiness, have a retro blues feel to them, and speak of hard times, the human spirit, and its will to endure." -Maverick Magazine

Singer/Songwriter – Americana - Road-Folk – Rock – Blues – Roots - Whatever

Sieben Solo-Alben hat der Berliner Gitarrist und Sänger Marceese seit 2010 veröffentlicht.
Im Oktober 2014 legte der Kreuzberger Hans-Dampf-in-allen-Gassen seinen Longplayer "A-Ramblin' And A-Howlin'" vor und ging noch mehr zurück zu den Wurzeln des R'n'R.
Americana, Blues, Country und sogar Bluegrass mag man den rauen Klängen des
Albums entnehmen.
Einmal mehr im kompletten Alleingang hat der lonesome Hauptstadt-Cowboy die 12 Songs fertiggestellt.
„Es ist, als höre man einzigartige Momentaufnahmen." hatte musikreview.de schon sein letztes Album „Young at Heart" treffend attestiert.

Mit seinem Anfang 2015 veröffentlichten zweiten KISS-Coveralbum „Have Love, Will Travel“ war der Berliner Gitarrist Marceese sogar für den Preis der deutschen Schallplattenkritik in der Rubrik „Folk & Singer/Songwriter“ nominiert.
Im November 2016 kommt nun mit „Twang Twang“ wieder ein „Band-Album“ heraus. Aufgenommen als Trio mit Drums und Kontrabass, geht es rock´n´rolliger zur Sache. Irgendwie wieder anders als bisher, aber eigentlich nur konsequent.

Mehr oder weniger ständig auf Tour zieht der "handsome fellow" nun unter dem Namen Baby Kreuzberg heulend mit seiner Gitarre durchs Land, um sein Erlebtes zu erzählen. In unzähligen Shows spielte er u.a. Supportslots für Chadwick Stokes (us), Gaz Coombes (uk), Christopher Paul Stelling (us), The Handsome Family (us), Go Go Berlin (dk) und auf dem Pure & Crafted Festival. Live spielt er mittlerweile seit über 20 Jahren, man nimmt es ihm ab.

Der Weg ist sein Ziel. Ein Storyteller der nicht zur Ruhe kommt, und ein Gitarrist der seinen Weg gehen muss, weil er nicht anders kann.
