Quinn Marston is an enigmatic 20-year-old singer-songwriter from New York City.  She has a voice that ranges from shy slur to sexy shout, recalling both Karen O. and ’50s troubadour Connie Converse, as well as “Guyville”-era Liz Phair.  Her lyrics are witty and wise beyond their years, set to grungy melodies that encapsulate a youthful angst. Produced by Tom Beaujour (Nada Surf) and featuring guitar contributions from Tim Foljahn (Two Dollar Guitar, Cat Power), her debut EP “Can You See Me Hear Me Now” is a collection of city songs for modern times.  It was released digitally in October via Ernest Jenning Record Co.
