Martha’s Trouble: December 30
Martha’s Trouble: Friday December 30, at 8 pm. $15 at the door. The Pearl Company is delighted to present an evening of music with this talented duo. Jen, originally from Ancaster, and Rob Slocumb, from Nashville, are Martha’s Trouble, a critically acclaimed Americana folk/pop duo. Music-charting giant, Billboard asks, “How does an indie folk band expand its fanbase in 2011? Catchy hooks, hard work and a unique tour. Plus, a little help from Starship.” Martha’s Trouble have just made Billboard’s top ten list of ‘Best Tempo-Halting Remakes’ with their version of Starship’s “Nothing’s Going to Stop Us Now”. Their latest album, ‘Anchor Tattoo,’ is a fresh, honest, and uplifting. Again from Billboard Magazine: “With its 10th album, ‘Anchor Tattoo’, the Alabama-based husband-and-wife duo, Martha’s Trouble continues to intensify the mystery as to why it remains a hidden gem ”
The album, released in early 2011, takes the duo back to their roots, bringing back their signature sound that made them touch so many when they first came to the music scene 12 years ago. Some of the most influential and well-respected music critics of our time have paid tribute to the duo. They have been listed and featured in Billboard Magazine, USA Today and Performing Songwriter. Their songs have received awards and have been featured in a number of movies. www.marthastrouble.com
