She Sings & She Paints
“An original voice whose artistry is both authentic and defiant to genre, a provocative lyricist with a deep sense of social consciousness”
~ Tim Warfield
“A breezy stroll through the Civil Rights movement at a level deeper than the mere political. Martin has a vision—oneness with all—and she promotes it with her lyrics. She cuts to the chase with little conversation, more Hemingway than Faulkner. But there's stll a distinct Southern vernacular in her words.”
~ All About Jazz
“ Heidi brings a singer-songwriter perspective, applies that folk influence from the 60’s, to a whole different genre of music…”
~George Burton
“Martin is a force to be reckoned with, this latest project proves that point!”
~ORRIN EVANS
“Soaring soulful riffs…a wonderful experience for the listener!”
~Vanessa Rubin
