KRFC 88.9 FM Locally Sourced: Nancy Manet LIVE in-studio on September 11th at noon (MST)

Although she’s celebrating the release of her first album, self-titled Nancy Manet, she’s been a performing musician for over 35 years. Yet it’s only now that her vision has finally been realized. The songs she writes were spawned from a life that found trouble and trauma - her continuing constants. Consequently, it’s a credit to both her talent and tenacity that she’s not only managed to persevere and accomplish all she has but also to the fact that she simply survived.
