Marianne Lerbs

If there were any woman who could never be matched in technical capability and musical precision, it would be St. Augustine, Florida's Marianne Lerbs. An intuitive musician, Marianne takes to the stage with a fierce knowledge of the guitar strapped around her waist. Her musical roots grew first in the classical world, where she studied Segovia and Bach endlessly, gaining a reputation for intense rhythm and quick, precise movements of hand. She then ventured into the jazz realm, where she picked up influences from both musicians and vocalists alike. This led her to be inspired by different world music, studying a variety of rhythms and techniques found only in certain regions of the world. She blends the genres of classical, jazz, and world music into a sound of nostalgia that always carries with it a refreshing newness.
