She works in the cracks between pop music and performance art, bouncing between the genres to suck out the juicier parts of either world.

Under the banner of The Blow Maricich has released five albums of music, crossing styles from folk to electronic radio style hits. Working in music venues as well as art spaces, her performances explore and exploit the conventions of each format.
