Marthia:
The Many
Sides of a Star
Marthia Sides has one of the most impressive
voices, looks, and musical pedigrees on Music Row.
First of all, Radio’s
response to her Nashville debut CD Born Again in the Country and
the single “Picture Perfect Girl” has shown that Marthia has a
unique sound that Country listeners get on the very first spin.
That song has a
Pop/Country feel which is made for Country Radio. The follow-up
single, “City Country City,” may be even more impressive. Unlike
“Perfect,” Marthia wrote this one, a funky and highly
autobiographical story song about her countless geographical and
musical influences.
Among those musical heroes is Patsy Cline,
who like Marthia is a Virginian whose music spanned Country and
Pop idioms effortlessly. She grew up around Country her whole
life.
 What truly separates Marthia from her Row
competition is not just her music and her style– which are
impressive indeed– but it’s her show-biz background. She’s one
of the few Country singers who’s lived the life of an Off-
Broadway performer– in New York, not in downtown Nashville– and
endured the Broadway auditions with 800 other top talents.
Marthia has done tons of TV and film work, and is a top-notch
stylist with many celebrity clients. She lived and worked in New
York for 6 years before coming to Nashville. Her sister still
works at a high-profile job in NYC, and together they own a
Manhattan apartment. But her heart and soul have always been in
the South.
Internet Radio and MySpace have become launching pads for
Marthia’s music, as “Picture Perfect Girl” and “City Country
City” have racked up huge numbers of plays on the Web. Marthia
is currently in the studio finishing her second CD, to be
released early in 2008.
She is a polished live performer who loves playing concerts.
Marthia mixes in classic Country– doing several Patsy and
Crystal songs, for instance– with newer and original material.
Her Radio tours have created great excitement, and spins both on
small-market and major-market stations – unusual for an indy
artist. KYGO/Denver, for example, a Jefferson Pilot station,
jumped all over Marthia’s music and the station’s support helped
her get into the prestigious Taste of Colorado festival. And in
Arizona, “Picture Perfect” won a station make-it-or-break-it
contest before the Eager County Festival, in a part of the state
which features the largest stand of Ponderosa Pines in the
world.
Everything about Marthia is new and unique, but somehow familiar
too. Her combination of talents and backgrounds, so unique to
Nashville, is fast making her music both a Web and a Radio
favorite.
