Better Late Than Never: Mariee Sioux – Faces in the Rocks

mariee sioux

Mariee Sioux‘s debut LP came out last year and got a lot less hype than it deserved. Released by Grass Roots Record Co., it is a spiritual, poetic, and musically un-ordinary journey into the mind of the young Native American from California. Guest musicians on Faces in the Rocks include grammy-nominated, Native American flutist Gentle Thunder, and Sioux’s father Gary Sobonya on mandolin.

The Nevada City native recorded her debut LP “with the intent of aligning the magnificence of t

he human voice with the universe’s creative energy”. She has toured with the likes of Brightblack Morning Light, and is currently on tour with Alela Diane. A single from the debut LP, ‘Two Tongues at One Time,’ was recently released rare 7” vinyl and is referred to as “a sonnet-filled homage to the ancestors who traversed the wild lands of America hundreds of years ago.” The song is guilty of “reminding listeners of our vital ties to our past.”
