The By Lines
“Musically, either as a duo (co-leaders and songwriters Reece Marshburn and Marianna Thielen) or a larger ensemble, The Bylines are versatile. They have an American-standards mode, a smoky jazz mode and a cheeky mode...It’s atmospheric. It has color and character. You could use it to indicate emotion, like a director of photography might use light. ”
