Fellow of the Native Arts and Cultures Foundation, Martha is a multi award-winning musician and charismatic songstress celebrated for her tasty gumbo of roots music embodying the folk and country sounds of her childhood in the Appalachian Mountains of Kentucky mixed with the eclectic grit of her teenage years in pre-gentrified Brooklyn. |

What started out in 1982 at an elderly housing community in Western Massachusetts to "joyfully pass their time" (instead of passing before their time) has developed into the stereotype-defying, generation-crossing, musical extravaganza better known as the Young@Heart Chorus. From The New York Times to TIME, The Ellen Show to The Daily Show, and stars of the hit Fox Searchlight documentary, Young@Heart, this group of seniors (ages 73 to 92) has performed from Northampton to New Zealand, Europe to Japan, on over 30 international tours proving it's "possible to grow old without growing boring." Concerts for all ages including with local Youth Choirs are available.
