LOS ANGELES, CA / ACCESSWIRE / August 19, 2016 / Tom St. Louis, a songwriter and performer who has been a part of the industry since the 1970s, recently announced the launch of his latest project, a cover of Sam Larkin’s “Mirabeau Bridge.” Performed by Marianne Girard, who first sang the song at a Sam Larkin release party in Toronto, the “Mirabeau Bridge” cover will be a tribute to Larkin and help renew interest in his back catalogue.

According to St. Louis, Larkin – a man of mystery – wrote “Mirabeau Bridge” himself. Accompanied by an inspired melody that audiences enjoy singing along to, the song romanticizes Larkin’s perfect lover. The song is a part of an album that Larkin was set to release before his death in October 2013.

At this time, St. Louis and Girard have taken their project to Indiegogo, where they seek the necessary funds to create a professional recording of “Mirabeau Bridge” as a tribute to Larkin. The project’s goal includes estimates for studio time, post-production mixing and mastering, packaging, promotional fees, and travel costs. In exchange for the public’s support, St. Louis and Girard are offering supporters a number of perks, such as digital downloads of “Mirabeau Bridge,” command performances, and executive producer credits.

“I heard Marianne Girard sing ‘Mirabeau Bridge’ at the release party – she sang the hell out of it and I said out loud, ‘Where’s the single? This song could be huge!'” said St. Louis. “The fact that a rough around the edges live in-studio performance attracted 115,000 suggests the song has wide appeal.”
