Marilyn grew up in the forests and savannahs of Oregon, where she walked in the rain, climbed oak trees, and read books from the Carnegie library -- when she wasn't making up songs on her parents' hundred-year-old piano.
As an adult, she saw first-hand some of the tragedies that life can deliver, which expanded her understanding of the kinds of challenges, pain, and joy that no one escapes completely. She found that others craved what she'd learned -- gratitude for patience, compassion, healthcare -- things that were also showing up in her songs.
Marilyn Jordan is a jamband-inspired singer-songwriter who creates songs like impressionist paintings, from her native rural Oregon. Drawing on themes of home, hiding out, and running like hell, Marilyn tells stories of badass adventures through this bittersweet life, with intriguing stories and soul-saving sense of humor.
"You're such a badass, Marilyn"
