LOS ANGELES--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Marianne Keith’s fans may have to wait till early 2010 for her new album Cathartic, but they can catch her pouring her heart out—and sharing some of its emotionally compelling songs—long before then as she embarks on a ten city solo acoustic tour October 12 with Glenn Tilbrook, lead singer of the famed UK rock band Squeeze, that hits cities on both coasts.

The Redlands, California native performer (www.mariannekeith.com), who launched her career playing clubs and coffeehouses in Southern California, will join Tilbrook for shows in Seattle, Portland, San Francisco, Santa Barbara, L.A., Tucson, Austin, Dallas, New York, New Jersey, Philadelphia and Maryland.

Capping a busy fall, on November 19, Marianne will find out if “Kiss Me In The Rain,” one of the most popular and infectious tracks from her 2007 critically acclaimed Unison Music Group debut Beautiful Distraction, wins the Hollywood Music in Media Award (HMMA) it was recently nominated for. The HMMA honors the music of visual mediums, the talented individuals responsible for selecting it, and the music of artists, both mainstream and independent, from around the globe.

Since releasing her first album, the singer—who likes to describe her vibe as “folk/pop/rock”—has shown her wide ranging appeal on tours with established and upcoming artists in a wide range of genres, including blues/rocker Joe Bonamassa, alt-rockers Better Than Ezra, singer/songwriters Ari Hest and Julian Velard and folk/pop artist Brett Dennen.

She also toured with Noah Sugarman, another artist on Unison. The label, which is part of a full scale organization that includes a management and production company, was launched by industry veterans Bruce Witkin and Ryan Dorn, who have produced both of Marianne’s albums. Unison’s eclectic roster also includes British singer/songwriter Stephen Jones, a onetime member of the 90s band Baby Bird whose recordings will be released in the U.K,, and a jazz-like New York based singer/songwriter Bobby Syvarth.
