Marcus Shriver – Tangerine is one of the hottest bands in Seattle right now. A heartbreaking mix of some of the sweetest pop you’ll ever taste, and an energetic edge that compliments that sugary talented power, this group, comprised of Marika (vocals), Miro (drums), along with Toby (guitar) and Ryan (bass), has been taking over Seattle and will soon sugarcoat the world.
