    In honor of Marianne Faithfull's passing earlier this year, Michael & Phillip take you on a journey through her illustrious career. As we recount her story, we play select tracks from her discography so you can experience the evolution of her music along with the ups and downs of her remarkable life.

    Marianne Faithfull was a singer/songwriter who defied categorization, a fashion icon of the Swinging London scene of the 60's & 70's, and an actress who skyrocketed into the spotlight as Mick Jagger's girlfriend in 1966. Her youthful innocence was soon tarnished by a bad girl reputation (some would say unfairly) and she lost favor with the London crowd of the time. The next several decades would reveal a tumultuous series of peaks & valleys, including homelessness and the loss of her child, which changed Marianne and the sound of her music forever. Through it all, she continued to release music that testified to the tenacity of her spirit, collaborating with legends such as PJ Harvey, Nick Cave, Brian Eno, and more.

    Join us on this journey & celebrate the life of the late, great Marianne Faithfull!
