Off the wall singer/pianist Marilyn Rucker creates bizarre tunes and lyrics about oddball situations. She’s had songs placed on national t.v. shows (I Love Your Smell on The King of Queens), videogames (Space Station Sims), Zombie Movies (Z, A Zombie Musical), and a variety of podcasts. Her music has jazz/folk/pop/rock influences and can be described as a cloning of Blossom Dearie, Tom Lehrer, Diana Krall, Dave Frishberg, and a little Ray Charles.
She’s played with The Studebakers, The Hootchcakes, Mr. Fabulous and Casino Royale, The Therapy Sisters, Emily Kaitz and Mary Reynolds, the Original Recipe band and The Big Band Sound of Austin. She also plays gigs as a solo jazz pianist/ vocalist and with duos and larger jazz groups around Austin and the state of Texas.
