Marion Carrillo is a New Mexico-born troubadour based in Albuquerque, blending sharp storytelling, dry humor, and heartfelt songwriting into a live show that feels equal parts concert and conversation. Drawing from influences like John Prine and Jason Isbell, his songs live somewhere between a punchline and a gut-punch.
A road-tested performer since 2017, Carrillo has shared stages with artists like Ben Nichols of Lucero and Abigail Austin, while building a following one room at a time. Recent highlights include appearances at South by Southwest and a feature on Local Sets ATX.
His new album, Between a Dream and Gone, arrives May 2, capturing his signature balance of humor, honesty, and lived-in storytelling—songs that stick with you long after the last line lands.
