MARISA YEAMAN Pure Motive (Deep Pearl)
Marisa Yeaman has slogged it out for the last ten years, not only building a loyal audience and a reputation as a skilled writer and proficient performer, but she's also collected a few heavy weight musical accomplices along the way.

On her 2005 released debut album, "Pure Motive", local legends Dave Steel, Andrew Pendlebury and Ed Bates contribute some intriguing instrumental moments. However without Yeaman's heartfelt and personal tales of life, those musical contributions wouldn't mean nearly as much. While many of the artists covered in this column are developing their craft, for Yeaman, all the components seem to be in place. All that needs to occur now, is for a larger audience to find her.
