Singer/songwriter Donna Martin redefines the boundaries of contemporary folk with her guitar skills that range from finger style to flat picking to groove oriented rhythms. With her soulful voice and compelling lyrics, Performing Songwriter Magazine hails her as "A songwriter whose stories are colored by powers of observation" and The Town Crier Cafe in NY described her as "An exquisite songwriter with a superb voice."
After two decades of touring the northeast and sharing the stage with the likes of Charlie Daniels and Nicolette Larson, opening for Alabama and a Lilith Fair performance along side Bonnie Raitt and Sara McLachlan, Martin has emerged as a well honed performer. From sitting toe to toe at a picking party with Guy Clark who remarked that if the songs Martin was playing were truly her first, “the rest could be scary”, to being plucked out of the new songwriters showcase at the NY Falcon Ridge Folk Festival in the early 90’s and placed on the main stage between the Saturday night headliners, there is no doubt that once seen, this songwriter makes a big impression.
