Marianne Kent Music

read moreMy passion is creating a personalized musical event to honor your special birthday or anniversary. I often write original songs and/or lyrics, resulting in a 15 to 45 minute show of meaningful events set to music for the individual(s) or company being celebrated, followed with dance music from your favorite Era. We have written shows for former Secretary of State George Shultz, California's Protocol Chief Charlotte M. Shultz, former Prime Minister Tony Blair, Carol Channing, the 2008 California Olympians and many others.
