Play It Martha

Play It Martha

After many years of working and flirting, musically, with each other, Play It Martha is the newest creative incarnation of Patrick Evans and Cora Browne. As veterans of the Victorian folk scene they have come together to share their love of harmony, well-crafted song and the odd rollicking chorus. The vibe is playful, yet sincere, honouring the folk tradition with new interpretations of the classics, old and new, while adding to the genre with fresh original songs. If you love soaring voice, lush harmony and skilful musicianship, a session with Play It Martha should set you right up!
