Saturday, 1/10 in San Francisco. Memphis on the 15th!

Hey Everybody! 

Please pardon any typos - I'm typing this on my phone and am coughing a lot.  We have a gig on Saturday 1/10 and this thing has had me for a week already, so, hoping it gets sick of me and leaves soon. 

Then, it's off to Memphis for the WIB Showcase. 

In the meantime, behind to yourself and others. 

Ox, 

Mari 

Buhbye, 2025!

Hey Everybody! 

Dropping into your inbox (or onto your browser or whatever...)  to wish you a Happy New Year! 

Buh bye 2025. 

Getting ready to mix in 2026! 

Singing the 2nd Saturday afternoon at the Saloon, 4 - 8 pm, which is an impromptu fundraiser for my Memphis trip. If you can't make it and want to support, links are in the Linktree.

Women in Blues Showcase is at Alfred's on Beale on the 15th. I'm excited, yet a bit nervous, so mustering up the courage! 

Ox,

Love and Looking Forward!

Hey Everybody! 

As always, hope this email finds you well. 

I'm about to clean off my favorite lasagna pan and get cooking for the holiday, and am thrilled to be getting ready for my trip to Memphis...

May you create so much joy in your own heart, that it shines out to the whole world...we need it!  

Grateful.

Joy and Sorrow

This past weekend has been  mixture of joy and sorrow. 

I am recharging from what I call "the good tired" and feeling extremely grateful for live music, while feeling sorrow for the violent events that humans inflict upon each other. 

Sending love to all. 

Ox, 

Mari 

SantaCon Saturday at The Saloon! 12/13/25 4 - 8 pm

See you Saturday! 

Working My Way to Memphis in January: Bandcamp Friday, Holiday Open Studios...

Hey Everybody! 

Hope you are feeling ok, despite the trials and tribulations of world events and life. There is so much going on in the world, that it can sometimes feel overwhelming. But with enough determination, we will get through it! 

That is why we have music, and art of all kinds. If you know me for a while, you will know that I believe anything can be elevated to an art form. Earlier this week, I concentrated on the art of keeping our sink and counter area clear. I kid you not! It's the little things. Life is a series of moments, and all the moments, all the little things, add up. So, the magic is the maintenance... a couple of situps a day, a vitamin a day, a song a week, etc. "Put it where you want it..." 

Speaking of that, I am working my way to Memphis for the IBC. I had planned to go this year, because I have never been, and it's been several years since I have been anywhere beyond the Bay. 

 

So, that is why I entered, for the umpteenth time, the draw for Women In Blues Showcase. I could not believe it when I heard Michele say "Mari Mack & Livin' Like Kings...!"  I would love to be able to bring the whole band, but looks as if that is not in the cards right now. However, I am working my way to be able to get myself there! I have signed up for employment agencies, have applied for so many positions for which I am more than qualified and/or willing to learn new skills, but so far, nada. 

If I can help you with something, whether it is singing or research, or sewing on a button, making a flyer, providing social media services or baking a cake, please let me know! I'm resourceful and available. 

Do you live nearby, and need a professional gift wrapper? Give me a holler! 

If you are in the San Rafael area on Saturday, December 6th, I'm.participating in the 11 Mark Drive Holiday Open Studios on from 2 - 7 pm. I have some CDs, artsy stuff,  some fun things to sell for cheap (and/or give away, for folks who want to help me divert items from the landfill.) 

So, come.on by and say "Hi!" 

Today is Bandcamp Friday, so, if you haven't already, buy our music off Bandcamp:

Also, I have a sticker! I will mail to you. 

Just send a check with a self addressed, stamped envelope to: 

Mari Tamburo

11 Mark Drive #13

San Rafael, CA 94903 or venmo me - 

Thanks, and I hope you have the best day possible!

Happening This Week!

Hey Everybody! 

Hope you are staying healthy and doing what makes you happy!  

This week is all about prep for our Holiday Open House / Open Studios at 11 Mark Drive. 

We have about 10 of our 20 plus artists in residence participating. I don't have much art to sell at the moment, and my studio is more about having a quiet space to reflect and write, and make upcycled merch and sketch out my next album project. 

Working on giving away things I no longer need or use and accepting donations to help me make it to Memphis in January. So, if you want to join in the adventure, drop me a line and I'll give you details! Info about the irl event below. 

More info in my Linktree!

Enjoy your week!
