CD - "Bramble Bridge" An Americana voyage from Texan Martha Fields. Recorded in France with her touring band (Manu Bertrand, Serge Samyn, Olivier Leclerc, Urbain Lambert and Denis Bielsa), then mixed in Nashville by 5 time Grammy winner, Sean Sullivan, (Molly Tuttle, Sturgill SImpson, John Hiatt) Bramble Bridge releases 1 June 2024. Three Okies - Jared Tyler (Malcolm Holcombe) , Jesse Aycock (Hard Working Americans) , and Mallory Eagle lay down soulful backing vocals; harmonicist Christophe Dupeu (Johnny Hallyday) shines on the 3 of the bluesier songs, and Xavier Duprat completes the album with his heavenly Hammond. Martha and Band have toured throughout Europe the last ten years - Scotland, England, the Netherlands, Belgium, Switzerland, Spain, Italy, France and Lithuania. Award winning songwriter, Martha Fields embodies a hundred years of Country, Folk, Bluegrass and Rock'n'Roll history, in a spirit of authenticity. Born with roots music in her blood, she descends from a long line of Appalachian musicians from the hills of Eastern Kentucky and West Virginia. She mixes the influence of her Texan/Okie father and the Appalachian roots of her mother, in a passionate and exciting crossbreeding of genres. Writing songs at an early age, she’s shared the stage with country legends Ricky Lee Skaggs and Merle Travis. Her last three albums were in the top 10 of the year on the EuroAmericana Charts.

Illuminant son passé et son présent via 12 chansons et 2 continents, Martha a écrit, autoproduit et enregistré cet opus qui viens “du fond du cœur'' alors qu'elle était confinée dans le sud-ouest de la France - avec son groupe de hotshot pickers puis mixé à Nashville par Sean Sullivan, nominé aux Grammy (Butcher Shoppe Studio). Ce Troubadour du Texas incarne cent ans d'histoire Country, Folk, Bluegrass et Rock'n'Roll, dans un esprit d'authenticité et de sincérité palpable! À un jeune âge, elle a partagé la scène avec Ricky Skaggs et Merle Travis et plus tard même des nuits imbibées de whisky avec Gus Hardin et le reste appartient à l'histoire.
