In the 90's, Beth Marlin was a BMG’s children's recording artist who sang at The White House and wrote for Disney TV and Sesame Street Live. Since then, the independent artist has released six albums and is readying her seventh, Railroad, which is due on August 13th. The four-song EP features some of L.A.’s finest musicians assisting Marlin in digging into the roots of American music, taking on traditional tunes as well as well-told stories of her own. The set begins with the autobiographical folk tale "Califor-ni-an," which is followed by "Hillside" a simple, tender song of a dog, a man and a hill highlighted by a gentle fiddle. The EP is rounded out by the haunting and heartfelt "Juliana Valentine" which was written for a four-year-old victim of 9/11 and Marlin's fresh take on "I've Been Workin' On The Railroad" which includes a new verse. Marlin has said she released a four-song EP because, "That’s about the length of my attention span these days," but it's also just enough to grab your ear and leave you ready to hear more. http://www.bethmarlin.com/bio https://www.facebook.com/bethmarlinmusic/ https://twitter.com/heybethmarlin
