Marian Hill

Marian Hill at The Record Bar

A little space. A sly groove. A voice that pulls you toward the next line. Marian Hill knows how much pleasure can come from keeping the ingredients selective. ACT TWO: THE TOUR brings the duo to The Record Bar in Kansas City for listeners who like their electronic pop with restraint and personality.

Samantha Gongol’s vocals and Jeremy Lloyd’s production give the music its push and pull. There is room for a phrase to catch your ear and a rhythm to make you want to move. If that combination is your weakness, this is an inviting excuse to dress for a night out and put something enjoyable on the calendar.

“Down” reached number 21 on the Billboard Hot 100 and appeared in an Apple AirPods ad, giving many listeners their first encounter with the duo. “One Time” and “Got It” offer other ways into the catalog. Perhaps you know every release; perhaps one track was enough to make you curious. Both are good starting points for an evening with Marian Hill.

The appeal is a mood you want to spend time in: vocal personality, electronic rhythm, and enough space to let the groove do its work. Make this February plan about enjoying that feeling. Check Marian Hill tickets at The Record Bar and give your next night out a different pulse.
