Here's something different. Slightly edited from my original draft, but just slightly.

Archival Dani Mari Bio; current and future works
This has recently been replaced as it is outdated, but I've gotten too much mileage out of it to let it disappear for good, so here is the bio I wrote for Dani Mari in 2011 when I was her publicist:
“Philadelphia-based
singer/songwriter” – how many flash-in-the-pan artists’ bios have begun with
those very words? Never fear: Dani Mari will not be joining their ranks. For
starters, her music is too distinctive; folk-rock at its core, but
characterized by a keen pop sensibility and delivered in a jazzy style by a
classically-trained vocalist. Dani Mari’s clever melodies and intelligent
lyrics reflect her dedication to a serious music career which has seen her play
at the Tin Angel, World Café Live, and The Kimmel Center in Philadelphia, The
Bitter End, Piano's and Caffe Vivaldi in New York City, and at SXSW in Austin.
She’s performed with acts such as Edward Sharpe & the Magnetic Zeros, Mates
of State, Of Montreal, Jeffrey Gaines and John Francis. But even with all these
laurels, Dani Mari’s greatest triumph is her music. Listen to her single
“Vampire” and her album Impulsive.
Watch her videos for “Vamipre” and “After You,” the lead track off Impulsive. And if she’s playing near
you, see her live trio, completed by bassist Topher Davis-Shannon and
percussionist Verien Brotzman. Learn for yourself what a “Philadelphia-based
singer/songwriter” can really do.
