Why this name?
Marcia Claire is Marcia's given name.
Do you play live?
Marcia performs most of her gigs in downtown San Diego area with an occasional North County and Temecula show.
How, do you think, does the internet (or mp3) change the music industry?
The accessibility to music that people have now is staggering. The idea that somebody surfing the net in Toledo or Spokane or Kalamazoo could come across your music is staggering to me. The doors that open up are endless. Anyone who doesn't make the most use out of the internet is kee-razy!
Would you sign a record contract with a major label?
Absolutely yes. I'm smarter about the business end of music than I have ever been. I understand the legalities of publishing as well as knowing what to negotiate and what NOT to negotiate. I learn from watching others make great (and not-so-great) decisions.

Your influences?
I love so many bands and I have so many influences. Old School Funk Classic Rock to Electronic Music ... I love it all. Victor Wooten, Lucinda Williams, Earth Wind and Fire, Incubus, Pink Floyd, Parliment Funkadelic, Dixie Dregs, Antonio Vivaldi, The Eagles ... see what I mean?
Favorite spot?
I love San Francisco so much. I love the Central Coast (Big Sur, Pismo Beach). I also love upstate New York. It's hard to want to leave when you're living in America's Finest City.
