About the Artist

As 2005 inductees into the Old Time Country Music Hall Of Fame, we continue the tradition of keeping the music of the past alive. For the most part the music we play is anywhere from 30 to 300 years old and represent songs from the Appalachian regions, folk and bluegrass standards, and an occasional sea shanty. We pick songs that tell about the many untold stories of life. Some songs are peppy and happy while others tell of human weakness and tragedy. The selections and simple arrangements of our material compel the audience to become absorbed in the music as each story unfolds. Me &&&& Martha interlace patterns of musical panache with subtle nuances to provide a glimpse into the world of the music makers. Iowa Free Press states, ''Their stage rapport with each other and the excitement brought to every song are captivating as they take the listeners on a musical journey. The audience certainly enjoyed Me &&&& Martha''s music as much as they enjoy making it.''
