Martha Groves Perry is a singer-songwriter, entertainer, and multi-instrumentalist based in San Francisco, California. Her original music has a straightforward, compelling and sometimes edgy clarity with strong blues, southern rock, and experimental influences and a badass
Americana flavor. Her penetrating lyrics, described by her producer,
Kenny Schick, as “journaling in poetry,” reflect the fearless
truth-telling and unbothered amusement of a seasoned,
female point of view.
Some characterize Martha’s music as a cross between
Tom Waits, early Gwen Stefani, and the Indigo Girls, and her
vocals have been compared to
Natalie Merchant.
Martha captivates
audiences during her
endearing stage shows
with thoughtful and hilarious stories alongside committed,
engaging performances of her meaningful and substantive songs.
After fronting and songwriting for MapleDream, an all-female
original band, Martha began her solo career with the
release in 2016 of a 4-song EP of her original music
titled Something Good. Her first full-length album of
