Welcome! This is my attempt at an Un-official Martha Wainwright Blog. It's been going for a while now and although there was a need to begin with- Since I first started out, Martha's website and Facebook page have lots more info! This is just a back up now really, but hope it is useful :)

I have completely neglected this! Life completely took over with busy-ness...work, studies, etc.... usual things!

However, on the one hand I didn't feel too bad as there has been lots of martha news on her website, facebook and now her forum!!

If you have not already, check out the following:

Martha is looking for some financial support to get on the road: Pledge Music

I have just stolen this from the Martha Wainwright Message Board. (Although stolen it a bit after the fact)

Here is a link to the message board and here is what it says:

Martha Wainwright Message Board

'Martha has 2 brand new songs on the most recent Radio Free Song Club, Nicholas Hill's podcast! "Can You Believe It?" and "All Your Clothes" were both recorded live in studio with the All-Stars, a group of musicians including Doug Wieselman, Dave Schramm, David Mansfield, JD Foster, Andy Burton, and Peter Moser.

Where does Martha get her inspiration from?

Hi there everyone,

Hope you are all having a nice new year. Here is a link to how some artists get their inspiration and Martha is one of the artists covered. Press here for a link to The Guardian article Enjoy!

Have to say I agree with Martha about Sufjan. I didnt really know anything about him when I got to see a concert through ushering at a venue he played at last year and thought it was great. Had a really good feel-good feel to it! (Hopefully I can get away with my lack of variation in descriptive words there!)

Well I had better get on with some essay writing, so bye for now!
