In the annals of popular culture there is no story that compares to hers. An almost unbelievable tale of early success... descent... rediscovery and resurrection... artistic accomplishment... standing ovations and enduring worldwide acclaim...

The Don Gibson Theatre was deeply honored to present

MARIANNE FAITHFULL

THE EASY COME, EASY GO TOUR

Brussels - Amsterdam - Zurich - Geneva
Luxumbourg - New York - Shelby - Jacksonville


"Ms. Faithfull's performances are hard to surpass... She may be a genre unto herself."  – New York Times

 "While the defining work of most artists comes at the beginning of their careers, Ms. Faithfull has accomplished just the opposite... It's her passion for life and experience, undimmed by time and torment, that defines her and makes her music so rich and rewarding."  – The Age, Australia

"One of the most sought after concert bookings in the world."  – Amazon


Hailed by both the readers and critics of Europe's #1 music publication as
Q Magazine's 2009
ICON OF THE YEAR


"Marianne Faithfull is a British Legend. Her survival is inspiring and admirable... Her emotional palette is gloriously wide, her re-minting of a lyric and music both razor sharp and refreshing, her distinctive vocal stamp its own inimitable hallmark. Her prowess with a lyric is second to none."   – BBC, London

"Rock's answer to the traditional cabaret singer... She transformed from the waif on the cover of her debut album to the scarred Grand Dame whose weather beaten voice and acidic delivery are capable of remarkable emotion... One of rock's most moving vocalists."   – Rolling Stone Magazine


"WHAT A SINGER! WHAT A LIFE!"  – Washington Post


"Marianne Faithfull - Rock star muse, survivor, post modern cabaret queen - has combined art and life to become what fans call a classic: a heroine whose presence speaks larger than the already large circumstances that made her what she is... A second career that far outstrips her first in terms of quality and continued popularity.

Her willingness to blend high culture with street culture, to embrace both Shelley and Kerouac, Aretha Franklin and Franz Shubert, has served as both a grand example of rock bohemianism and a way out of rock's limitations. It has allowed her to sidestep the youth culture trap and seem as contemporary as she did at 17."   – New York Times

"Five Stars - One of the best adult pop records of the last decade."  – El Mundo, Spain
