This edition of “MIDWEST BEAT with Tom Lounges” originally aired on June 7, 2016
Musical Guest: Singer/Songwriter/Performer MARINA V
Returning for her third visit in as many years to “Midwest BEAT with Tom Lounges” is the lovely and talented singer/songwriter and performer MARINA V, a Russian-born singer, composer, pianist who fell in love with America while a high school exchange student in the mid-1990s. She then fell in love with her musical collaborator/husband NICK BAKER while attending college in Springfield, Illinois, and they now make their home in Los Angeles.
With seven albums under her belt, Marina’s latest is titled, “Inner Superhero.” It is a concept album of sorts — about looking inside oneself and discovering the hero within. Songs from that album, her earlier albums and even a bit of a Neil Diamond classic sung in Russian is featured on this program. Marina guested on this show to promote her new album and her June 12th all ages concert on Sunday, June 12 at Chicago Street Theatre in Valparaiso.
Marina recently performed a tour of Russia, released an 80-plus minute documentary oher Toyota-sponsored 2014 U.S (“Enjoy The Ride: On The Road With Marina V.”), and became cover girl for the Russian version of “Chicago” magazine.
