Artist Bio:

After discovering her passion for music via a piano in the common room of a schoolhouse in Colorado, Kesang Marstrand knew that it would be an inseparable part her life. As a teen, she entertained the hope of one day becoming a classical pianist and composer, but her family's move to New York City while she was in high school prompted her to exchange the piano for the ever-more-mobile acoustic guitar.

Born in Woodstock, New York, to a Danish mother and Tibetan father, the young musician sought out inspiration that was as varied as her cultural background. With artists like David Bowie, Patsy Cline, Ani DiFranco, and classical artists, both Eastern and Western, to guide her, she began to write her own songs and to explore the possibilities her guitar and voice offered her.

Now 27, Marstrand has been writing and performing for the past decade. In November of last year, she released her debut album, "Bodega Rose," a contemplative, acoustic work that includes accompaniment by renowned musician and composer, Karl Berger. The album, in addition to eleven original tracks, also includes a cover song, a sparse, down-tempo version of Paul McCartney and Michael Jackson's collaboration, "Say Say Say."

Marstrand now divides her time between New York City and Seattle, where she continues to create new material…

Real Boy You were always more Symbolic than Human to me So solid Not bones, flesh, water, blood Not another child At the mercy of All this But you're a real boy Through and through And I was once more symbolic Than human to you A real boy Through and through A real boy You were statuesque And everybody else Moved so recklessly Trying to find themselves In the deep, endless blue All of us were there Everyone but you Or so it seemed But you're a real boy When all is said and done And you say you think That you are The most Reckless one A real boy When all is said and done A real boy You were always more Symbolic than Human to me So solid Not bones, flesh, water, blood Not another child At the mercy of All this But you're a real boy Through and through And I was once more symbolic Than human to you A real boy Through and through A real boy

Lioness Untamable lover Volatile friend You've embossed your body On my floor again For you I've learned to play The floorboards mute And trained my garden to grow Without taking root Am I your lioness Am I your only only one 'Cause when you're in from the woods This is where you come This is where you come I claimed this plot And you claimed me A landowning woman With electricity You bring me your wilderness And other precious things But the plumes are stained with blood Where your teeth have torn the wings Am I your lioness Am I your only only one 'Cause when you're in from the woods This is where you come This is where you come
