later, she would study jazz in college and eventually form her own
musical sound by blending all of
her interests from Led Zeppelin to
Ella Fitzgerald. Looking back, she
says School of Rock performances
at McGuinn’s in Lawrenceville
were great experiences for her.
“It was probably the first time
I ever sang live to an audience,”
recalled Marsh. “I did a Pink Floyd
song, ‘Goodbye, Cruel World’
but if you ask anyone who was
there I wasn’t really singing, it was
more like whispering. They told
us to get up on stage and give it
your all and that was the best way
to learn — just get up on stage
and do it and not care about the
nerves or be worried, just do it.”
She continued her musical path
in college where she initially went
to study jazz at Moravian University. The path changed for her
when she realized that instead of
practicing her jazz standards she
was constantly writing original
songs. So she decided to transfer back home and found herself
a regular at Grover’s Mill Coffeehouse in Plainsboro. There, she
met a group of like-minded singer-songwriters who formed the
Grover’s Mill 7 on YouTube.
