Biography
Montreal, Canada (1997 – present)
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. The Prosperpina Songfacts reports that her 4th album, Come Home To Mama, was recorded at Sean Lennon’s studio in New York City. Speaking about the album, Wainwright said: “This record is a culmination of my life experiences so far. Everything changed for me a couple of years ago and this record is a representation of that and a return to the reason I started writing songs.”

I Know You're Married But I've Got Feelings Too is so sweet. In love with "You Cheated Me". Such a great album.

estoy de acuerdo con matbil22, tal vez no se deban hacer este tipo de comparaciones, pero cuando escucho y veo a martha pienso en lo diferentes que son y la empatía que me provoca martha y la antipatía en ocasiones que me despierta rufus

Her music does more for me than her brother's does. There. [4]

Not super impressed w/ the new album. She might as well have called it "I Can't Stand My Husband"

Sure makes me feel hold realizing Martha's the product of Rufus and Kate; I remember listening to both her parents when they started in music. Martha's amazing, really entertaining. Her Piaf album is an odd one but worth the listen.

"Proserpina" is very good! But instead of Hera it must be Demeter (or Ceres in lat.)! I know I am a snob.
