SUMMARY:Music at MoCA: Marielle Kraft (Pop)
DESCRIPTION:Bring your lawn chairs\, purchase delicious food from Los Poblanos Mexican Grill and drinks from Bar MoCA\, and enjoy an amazing performer! BUY TICKETS. \nWhen you hear Marielle Kraft’s music or experience her candid live shows\, you feel as though you already know her. The Nashville-based indie pop singer/songwriter\, originally from Rhode Island\, displays craftsmanship beyond her years\, evident through her use of salient detail\, raw emotion\, and poignant word choice to describe moments “exactly as they feel.” \nIn spring 2018\, she was crowned Grand Champion of the Mid-Atlantic Singer-Songwriter Competition\, and the following June she delivered a Tedx Talk at Firefly 2018\, discussing the importance of honesty rooted in her songwriting process. \nMarielle Kraft’s debut studio EP\, The Deep End\, officially released on July 12th\, 2019\, is described by The Music Mermaid as “song after song of mini pop addictions.” In February 2020\, Marielle Kraft co-released an “anthemic” and “heart-filled” single with Joshua Howard entitled “In It Together\,” which has quickly gained traction across platforms. \nMarielle Kraft has shared stages with names as big as Jon McLaughlin\, Ava Max\, and Betty Who. Her “winning personality\,” “genuine connection\,” and “gift for storytelling” on stage have fueled the ever-growing crowds at each of her shows\, with no signs of slowing down. \n“Marielle’s songs tap into young women and millennials’ romantic angst and euphoria in a way that feels flavored by Alanis Morissette and Taylor Swift.” – Cheryl Squandrito\, Philadelphia Inquirer \n  \nThank you to all of our Music at MoCA Sponsors including Jack and Lynne Dodick\, Bill & Jodi Felton\, Russell and Lauren Fuchs\, WildBloom Skincare\, Cohen and Wolf\, Wealthspire Advisors\, WSHU\, WPKN\, and WMNR.
