About Marny Duncan-Cary
The best way to get to know Marny Duncan-Cary is listen to her songs...because her life, her heart, her energy and her fun is in every single one of them. Influenced by Patsy Cline, Peggy Lee, Etta James and Hank Williams, Marny combines a naturally strong, melodic voice with a country, jazz and blues sound. The result is music ranging from down-to-earth and approachable to energetic and exciting. It's the kind of music that audiences applaud and that stays with you after hearing it...something you don't mind one bit. Marny recently won four awards at the 16th Annual 2005 Saskatchewan Country Music Awards. Her awards include Rising Star, Female Vocalist of the Year, Composer of the Year for her song "Because I Want To", and Album of the Year for her debut album Reason For Bein'. Marny was a showcase artist at the 2003 Canadian Country Music Awards and was part of the prestigious Songwriter's Cafe at the 2004 CCMAs. Her song "Who's That Man", a song based on Marny's family history with WWII, was chosen to be part of the CBC Radio Show, "Round Up", for their Remembrance Day Special in 2004. This song, along with "Linger", another song from Marny's award- winning album, made a brief appearance in the episode "Security Cam" of the CTV hit comedy, Corner Gas. Wife, mother of three wonderful girls, Great Dane-owner, singer, songwriter, Harley-rider, straight-shooter, dedicated yoga-ite, wonderful pasta cook and believer in "eating the same food I nag my kids to eat" - Marny has the uncanny ability to take an experience in her life and make it real for her listeners. A good example is the song, "Misbehaving", which is based on how she felt one weekend when she had an opportunity to set responsibility aside, let loose and play while her kids were away staying with their friends. Marny's debut CD, Reason for Bein', was produced by Bart McKay - whose credits include Brad Johner, Melanie Laine and Gord Bamford. Marny "had the time of her life" working on the album and was honoured and pumped to work with Bart McKay to put it together. If you get a chance to see or hear Marny Duncan-Cary, do so. And when you buy her CD, do not be surprised when you put it on repeat.
