Barbara Martin and Mac Walter’s music is a rich stew of earthy blues peppered with sassy, swinging jazz. "Songs that ring with truth, wit and experience” (The Washington Post). Martin’s sultry, soulful voice and Mac Walter's fingerstyle guitar wizardry captivate audiences.
"She is carrying the torch of Ida Cox, Bessie Smith and Sippie Wallace and beautifully evokes their styles into her own compositions." (Blues Rag, Baltimore Blues Society)
