Michelle Branch Marries!

Forget the tortured love anthems, we're guessing Michelle Branch is happy now.
The singer-songwriter, who turns
21 on Friday, recently tied the knot with her bass player, Teddy Landau,
her rep confirmed.
No other details about the musical
match were released.
Landau, reportedly 19 years her
senior, has been touring with Branch since 2003.
That
makes him old enough to appreciate Branch's first label boss, Madonna ,
who signed Branch to Maverick in 2000. A year later, the young rocker
released her debut album The Spirit Room, which included the hit
single "Everywhere."
Her duet with Santana on "Game of
Love" (off Santana's Shaman album) earned them the 2003 Pop
Collaboration Grammy and set her apart from look-alike artist Vanessa Carlton and Branch's more pop-oriented peers.
In 2003,
she released her sophomore effort, Hotel Paper, a critical flop
that nevertheless went platinum.
Details about Branch's
current schedule are sketchy, but according to her official Website, she
is planning a handful of tour dates in the U.S., Japan and Guam this
summer.
The Arizona native, who played a small role in
2002's The Hot Chick, has also taken on a sideline gig as guest
designer for Flirt! nail polish and lip color. The line, named after
songs on Hotel Paper, debuts in October.
