Her Story of the Blues
Erased in History – Amplified in Her Story.
Music of the trailblazing women who pioneered the blues, conceived rock & pop, and were then - promptly forgotten!
Returning Spotlight to Source, MT (Marie Thérèse) embarks upon a sonic mission to Restore Recognition - where due.
Enraged by Erasure and Colonial-Capitalist-Con-Artistry, this One-Woman-Warrior Determines to Dismantle the Dominant narrative that Pedestals white Patriarchy - Revealing the Roots of our Contemporary Cultures, in the Heritage and Hard-Yakka, of these early blues women.
Featuring MT on All Instruments, Curt Comments & Addicted to Alliteration.
Don’t miss this Award-Winning show on its final round - Reaching the Regions, Beyond the Burbs.
From the Mississippi Delta - to the clubs of Harlem - to your local Petrol Pump!
Presented by: MT
MT (Marie Thérèse) is a multi-instrumentalist, Adelaide Fringe award-winning musician, living and working on Kuarna Yerta.
Born to a social activist opera junky and a concert pianist, she decided early on to do whatever it takes to stop Gilbert & Sullivan permeating her brain, trying very hard to not be a musician.
However, fate would have it that pianos continued to fall in front of her - she’s lucky to be alive!
Having escaped to remote regions to steep in musical traditions of West Africa, West Ireland and the West Wing of the jazz school, MT continues to be obsessed with the nuts and bolts of music, writing in blues, soul, folk and world music genres.
Through piano, percussion, guitars, vocals and myriad found objects, MT delivers a raw sound that is compelling and authentic.
