Barbara Martin (Americana Tracks)

Virginia Jazz and Blues artist Barbara Martin is the real deal. She has a Silver Award in the Vocal Blues and Jazz category at the Mid-Atlantic Song Contest for her original composition "Kaleidoscope," and she has written scores for theatrical performances, two major TV shows, and two documentaries. The Baltimore Sun touts her as "a songwriter with an unexpected gift for sultry melody," and The Washington Post calls her body of work "As American in style as it is universal in emotional intelligence." Her genres include Jazz, Blues, Americana, Folk, and Country.
