Today I’m celebrating the women whose voices fill my head every time I step onstage and sing: Ella, Billie, Nancy, Sarah…icons who were always dressed to the nines. This shimmering brocade from JOANN is the perfect fabric to honor these legends! Standing in the spotlight in front of thousands of people can be nerve wracking, but when I arrive in a handmade gown that I designed myself, sewing empowers me. My garments are my technicolor armor. And every armor needs a little shimmer, don’t you think? Happy Women’s History Month…hope you make some armor today💗 #handmadewithjoann #handmadeharriells #marcyharriell #womenshistorymonth #sewfancy #sewingismysuperpower #thebespokebelter #handmadehappiness #joannpartner @joann_stores

Back in black this past weekend at @cal_performances with @markmorrisdance and got my fondest wish when the Zellerbach Hall crew happily piled in for pictures!!! This gang took the BEST care of us. Performing for this magnificent bunch of humans—backstage, onstage, and in the audience—was a true gift💗 (Thanks Johan—our technical director in the last pic!—for snapping us. And y’know, for leading the technical ship 😎) Ps. I’m really getting into sewing black gowns….this one is my own design👗 #markmorrisdancegroup #thelookoflove #burtbacharach #calperformances #zellerbachhall #thebespokebelter #instasew #blackgown #blackgirlmagic #marcyharriell

when you sew, you have a #messyroom every fifteen seconds or so 🤩 (Yeah I know it’s not *that* messy. HOWEVER. MomNDadInc™️ have reminded me, on their anniversary no less, that I’ve been MIA. CFO Dad thought a Behind The Scenes would be nice. So here’s my current chaos. What CEO Mom used to call *Marcy Make A Mess* …which is why my mess probably never gets as messy as your mess. I organize every fifteen minutes or my head pops off with my own personal hashtag 🤓) Thanks Mom! Thanks Dad! I’M SO GLAD YOU GOT MARRIED!!!! ⭐️🎉🥂🎂

It says a lot when you can sing someone’s notes for over three years and find something new in it every time. Even better when the music breaks your heart as it simultaneously fills it up with joy. I’m honored to sing the music of Burt Bacharach, Hal David, and Dionne Warwick. Together they created a blend of pop, soul and blues that is, utterly and completely, its own thing. And though I’ve hollered about the joy of performing their catalogue with @markmorrisdance , I haven’t said this here: This music, this dance, this sixty minutes in the theater leaves *everyone* walking out better than when they walked in. It’s a light on the often dark stage of life. Mr. Bacharach passed away this week, and when we perform next weekend in Berkeley, the gift of his notes will be on my mind, and hopefully in my voice. 💗 thank you @burtbacharach #haldavid and @therealdionnew 💗 #thelookoflove
