SEQUESTER "FEST"
When asked to share the story of her musical evolution, Marlene writes, "It’s too painful to think back to pre-covid time. It was epic. I’ll leave it at that. The pandemic forced us to change the way we do things; in hindsight, it was a mixed blessing. Musicians discovered how to use live feeds and YouTube recordings to reach audiences. In Missoula, a musician friend launched Sequesterfest and I took it over last fall. The last one was March 20th (2021). We'll see what happens next in my musical journey.
