Marianne Joyce is an emerging singer-songwriter from the edge of Dartmoor.
Blending vivid storytelling, memorable folk-inspired melodies, and sharp lyricism, her music puts a unique lens on the timeless themes of love and grief, as well as exploring local stories, queerness, and a bit of life’s absurdity. Whether it be the true tale of a man banished to an island off the south coast of Devon, or a heartfelt love song about research that found 14% of seagulls to be lesbian, she writes songs you didn’t know you’d been waiting to hear.
