"We could go on and on about the advantages of touring by train as a musician through our eyes," LeClair and Paradise write in the introduction to their upcoming Train Tracks project. "Train travel is more energy-efficient than cars or planes, it feels safer to us, but most importantly it gives us a moment of 'still' to sit back and enjoy the journey, and isn't that what its all about anyway?"

Bio
The Marvins were an active force in the rebirth of the folk-rock scene in Detroit, MI, before relocating to the Pacific NW. The singing/songwriting duo of Peter LeClair and Carmen Paradise have been at work for 15 years, bringing their unique blend of various genres through the organic delivery of their acoustic instruments, honest lyrics and earthy voices. Whether it is influenced by rock, pop, jazz, hip hop or bluegrass, or all of the above, their music always has a way of coming out Marvins. They now perform both as an acoustic duo, with a rotating door of special guest performers. With the release of their newest EP, "Train Tracks," The Marvins invite audiences into their homey sound that makes the listener feel like they have known them as family their whole lives.
