Martha Wainwright January 22, 2008

Martha Wainwright comes from a family that some would call "musical royalty." She is the daughter of Kate McGarrigle and Loudon Wainwright III, and sister of Rufus Wainwright, yet she writes and sings with a style completely her own. After several tours as opener and band-mate for brother Rufus Wainwright, and appearances on albums by Rufus, the McGarrigles, Gordon Gano (Violent Femmes) and Linda Thompson, Martha has made her own bold statement with her first EP, 'Bloody Mother F***ng A****le,' followed by her full-length debut. An album of contrasts, 'Martha Wainwright' features tracks filled with raw, fiery, passionate energy alongside unforgettable, hauntingly beautiful ballads.
