Brianna Mai Colliard and the Desert Marigolds are a folk rock band based out of Carmel Valley/Salinas, California. Front woman Brianna Mai Colliard hails from deep in the mountains of Carmel Valley, where off-grid country living provided the opportunity and inspiration to hone her voice and begin to write original music. Their sound is inspired by folk greats like Sandy Denny, Linda Ronstadt and Emmy Lou Harris. Though they don’t play traditional bluegrass, they’ve played at several NCBS festivals like the Good Old Fashioned Bluegrass Festival in Tres Pinos, and this year they made their debut at Strawberry Music Festival.
