Marla & David Celia (D/CAN)

Mit ihrem berührenden und humorvollen Live-Programm bereisten die beiden Musiker, bepackt mit zwei Akustikgitarren und der Liebe zur Folk-Musik, bereits ganz Europa sowie die Weiten Kanadas. Ihre zwei neuen Alben präsentieren beide sowohl zusammen, als auch solo auf der Bühne und kreieren mit ihren Akustikgitarren und wunderbaren Stimmen eine unfassbar intime und unterhaltsame Stimmung. Durch Geschichten und Anekdoten aus ihrem Tourleben überbrücken sie charmant die Pausen zwischen tieftraurigen und zugleich hoffnungsvollen Songs, die nur darauf warten gehört, verstanden und geliebt zu werden. Ein Mix aus erstaunlich ehrlicher Selbstreflexion und sensationeller Selbstironie macht es am Ende schwer, die Tränen dem Lachen oder dem Weinen zuzuschreiben.

Lassen Sie sich mitnehmen auf eine Reise in die Welt zweier Künstler, die ihre Musik in einsamen Winkeln Kanadas haben reifen lassen und sich nun dazu aufmachen, eben diese der Welt zu präsentieren.

Marla (born 1995) is a German/Spanish singer-songwriter based in Heidelberg, Germany. 
Even though Marla sang her whole life, she never thought she’d pursue music. As her sister quit the guitar, Marla picked it and covered tunes until she started writing around the age of 15. Besides the fact that she played classical cello since age 6, she grew up with no musical background in her family. 
Addicted to live shows at a young age, she discovered and met L.A. songwriter Robert Francis, her biggest musical influence at the time. From then on she knew that touching people through music is what makes her happy in this world. In the last three years, she has routinely performed in some of the best concert venues around her hometown, opening for artists like Jessica Pratt, Spring Offensive, Ewert & The Two Dragons and Rue Royale. Also aspiring to be recognized as an established songwriter, her latest tunes are catching up with her stunning voice and intriguing personality. 
Inspired by traveling the world, the 20 year-old Marla is processing her lost love in these songs, softly picked on acoustic guitar. Her mellow dreamy melodies and deep airy voice might remind one of artists like Jessica Pratt and reminiscent Nico. After touring with David Celia in 
early 2015, she decided to record her debut album in Toronto with him as producer and sideman. 
She easily won over audiences playing from Toronto, over Montreal up to Halifax and all over Europe.
