Wanted to make you guys aware that the new album is available now. If you navigate back to the splash page at http://www.MarthasTrouble.com, you will see a widget called Nimbit that hosts our music. The tracks are $0.99 each or buy the 6 songs together for $5.50. They are iTunes compatible and DRM free, which means you can put them on your iPod.

ALSO, if you want to help us out, there’s a link on the widget which lets you put it on your own webpage. We appreciate any and all help you give us…you’re the reason we do this.

Until we see each other again..

Well,
A fair amount actually. From last week until now we have played the 280 Boogie in Waverly, AL, the Auburn Cityfest at Kiesel Park, and the Bare Hands Gallery in Birmingham. It was a pretty eventful day last Saturday, complete with a shooting around the corner. No one was killed from what I gathered on the internet, but it was eye-opening to be sure.

Upcoming is Sundown at Kiesel Park this Thursday, May 1st. It is a free concert starting at 6pm, so bring blankets, the kids, dogs, dinner, etc. and enjoy a free concert hosted by the city.

We hope to see you soon…

Other than getting a painful sunburn, the 280 Boogie was a lot of fun, and Martha’s Trouble showed the people there that we can still put on a show at 10 in the morning. There were many other great acts there and we feel very fortunate to play with those talented artists.

It was all in all a great experience. In the 8 years I’ve lived in Auburn, I had never heard of the Boogie until recently. I must admit I was a little skeptical of it all, but saturday made me a believer. We all had a wonderful time, and I cannot wait for next year’s boogie to roll around.

Rob & Jen started the Star Songwriter Series 3 years ago this Spring at Eighth & Rail in downtown Opelika, AL.  The series happens once a month as Martha’s Trouble plays host to regional & national touring songwriter’s.  This past Tuesday (a week ago) we hosted Terri Hendrix w/ Lloyd Maines from San Marcos & Austin, TX.  Our friends Naked Blue (from Baltimore, MD) were scheduled to perform as well, but had car trouble in Chattanooga and had to cancel.   So, at a last minutes notice, Rob, Jen, Jake & David pulled together a quick 45 minute set.  Paul is off on his national solo tour in Ohio & Chicago!

One of the biggest rewards in organizing this series is the opportunity to hear acts like Terri Hendrix w/ Lloyd Maines.  The folks in attendance that night know what I’m talking about.  It’s not everyday that this caliber of artist rolls into the Opelika/Auburn area.  Thank you to all that come out and support the Star Songwriter Series!
