Harvey's Kitchen: Martha Bassett

10 Comments 13 Nov, 2008

Martha Bassett together with Bassist Pat Lawrence play Leave Me Behind , a signature track from her upcoming album with working titles, Shake, or, Whisper.  She is also due to release another album, Moonshine and Starlight sometime soon.

Her current tour schedule boggles the mind with bookings in Michigan, Illinois, Ohio, North Carolina and South Carolina within a span of a few days.

I’m sure we’ll be hearing a lot more about Martha in 2009.

(Let’s hope we get to see her at the next Merlefest)

    I just discovered Martha! I bought a CD of Favorite Hymns at Shopko and heard her songs I Will Arise and How Tedious And Tasteless; I INSTANTLY WANTED TO HEAR MORE OF HER SOUND! I got Online and WOW!!!! I feel God led me to the discovery of her. I want to purchase some of HER OWN CD’s now! Thank you, Martha for sounding so wonderful to my soul. (I’m a mother with four daughters and a grandma with two grandsons!)

    once upon a time, in brevard, nc…jeff sipe was playing a snare drum with twigs because there were no drumsticks and martha was singing. it was a sunday morning, she sung gospel tunes, and we had a clear view of the mountains from the front porch. it was magical.
