Biography
Marcia Ball (born March 20, 1949) is an American retired blues singer and pianist raised in Vinton, Louisiana. Ball was described in USA Today as "a sensation, saucy singer and superb pianist... where Texas stomp-rock and Louisiana blues-swamp meet." The Boston Globe described her music as "an irresistible celebratory blend of rollicking, two-fisted New Orleans piano, Louisiana swamp rock and smoldering Texas blues from a contemporary storyteller." In October 2025, Ball announced she was diagnosed with amyotrophic lateral sclerosis, and that she would be retiring from touring and performing. In 2026 Ball was inducted into the Blues Hall of Fame.
