The Marla Approach

The Marla Approach is a long-running solo project begun in 2001 by Elliott Bowen. In that year, he released the debut LP "Doubters and Believers." The next two years saw the releases of "Poets and Prophets" (2002) and "Dire Strats" (2003), the latter of which was written during a semester abroad in Sweden. 2003 also saw the release of "Something Borrowed, Something Bruised," which consisted largely of previously unrecorded material written during Bowen's high-school days.
