On the March Listen Project podcast Lend Me Your Ears, I talk with Howard and Ann Marie Micenmacher. Ann Marie made her first appearance on the Cleveland music scene as the lead vocalist for the Walk-Ins. She met Howard when they formed the Dandelion People in 1990. After the demise of that band, Howard began an eight year run leading Al’s Fast Freight, Northeast Ohio pioneers of Americana and alt country while Ann Marie released a solo album under the name Anna Nausea. Currently, the husband and wife duo perform together in Swamps of Jersey, a six piece Bruce Springsteen tribute band. Lend Me Your Ears plays every Tuesday night starting at 7:00 PM ET and every Saturday afternoon starting at 1:00 PM ET on Listen Project Radio. The podcast is available for download on all major podcast carriers beginning on Sunday, March 6th.
Swamps of Jersey plays the Music Box Supper Club Friday, April 1, 2022 at 7:30 PM. Tickets are on sale through the Music Box and you can find out more about Swamps of Jersey at MySpace.com/swampsofjersey.
