Marcy Brenner is a baker’s daughter originally from Alexandria, VA. She’s been a musician since she was big enough to work the pedals on her family’s player piano and a writer as soon as she could hold a pencil. Flute and violin in youth orchestras gave way to a guitar on her tenth birthday. Her professional life has led her to California to work on the “other side of the desk” in marketing and artist relations for Dean Markley Strings to create her own publishing company in 2000. She spent a few decades on Ocracoke Island, NC where she was a studio musician for Soundside Studio, toured with the national folk group Molasses Creek and created a music, teaching and writing venue there with her then partner Lou Castro. Their duo was called Coyote. When hurricane Dorian and Covid “cosmically evicted” her to Merritt Island, she connected with the large family of performing songwriters and now shares her songs, is a self-published author and
a touring cancer advocate speaker.
Her enchanting, authentic songs cross every boundary of genre and are uncommon, yet universal.
Marcy has been writing all of her life but the pro journey began in 1997, when she studied with famed producer Nik Venet, and committed to songwriting and a dream of a book about her family's bakeries. Always a book lover, songwriter, reader, Marcy created MRB Publishing LLC with a vision to create multiple platforms which celebrate the art of storytelling.
There are more publishing adventures in the works ... more bakery stories and recipes, a narrative non-fiction piece, and more.
