Montreal, Canada (1997 – present)

Martha Wainwright (b. 1976 in Montreal, Quebec) is a Canadian-American singer-songwriter.

Daughter of Loudon Wainwright III and Kate McGarrigle, and the sister of Rufus Wainwright, she has frequently appeared on recordings by her family members, and has released several independent EPs. Wainwright released an independent cassette, Ground Floor, in 1997. The following year, her song “Year of the Dragon” appeared on The McGarrigle Hour, an album released by Kate and Anna McGarrigle. Shortly after this recording, Martha began singing backup vocals for her brother, and released the six-song EP Martha Wainwright in 1999.

Her full length self-titled first album was released in 2005, followed in 2008 by I Know You’re Married but I’ve Got Feelings Too, and in 2009 by Sans fusils, ni souliers, à Paris: Martha Wainwright’s Piaf Record.

    OMG, I'm so angry of myself how can't I see a beauty like her when she's sister of Rufus! Her voice must be belonged to a fallen angel. <3 Her performance at Leonard Cohen: I'm your man was epic.

    Her music is absolutely beautiful but in my humble opinion can't compare to his brother's

    Listening to Martha Wainright gives me goosebumps and chiils. Her voice has the ability to pierce through my defenses. Her music is stirring and simply amazing and stays in my head for days. I crave listening to her, really!
