Marianne Dissard

Marianne Dissard is a French-American singer-songwriter and multimedia artist known for her moody, cinematic blend of chanson, desert rock, and poetic storytelling. Born in Tarbes, France, she moved to Tucson, Arizona, as a teenager, later collaborating with bands like Calexico (contributing vocals and French lyrics to their 2003 album *Feast of Wire*). Her solo work, including 2008’s *L’Entredeux* and 2012’s *Paris One Takes*, marries sultry bilingual lyrics with Southwestern grit, reflecting her transatlantic roots. Recent projects like *Souvenir of England* (music for a stage production) and singles like *Rappel*le* and *If I Needed You* continue her penchant for evocative, narrative-driven art that bridges music, film, and literature. Dissard’s work often feels like a dusty road trip through a Franco-American daydream.
