Rebecca Martin

Rebecca Martin has recorded a number of fine albums, most notably with jazz drummer Paul Motian. Ms. Martin accompanies herself on acoustic guitar and enlists top-flight musicians. Applying Motian's less-is-more ethic with her album "The Growing Season", created an enthusiastic response!
"...warm, unguarded voice, an instrument of modesty and forbearance..." - The New York Times
The album's success led to Best Folk/Singer-Songwriter Album at the Independent Music Awards and to headlining shows at the Village Vanguard NYC, making Martin the first singer-songwriter to perform at the jazz club in more than 30 years. Rebecca's subsequent recordings have been released to critical acclaim, as has her collaboration, Tillery, with singer/songwriters Gretchen Parlato and Becca Stevens. Rebecca has been a big part of the evolution of the Falcon. It is always an honor to have her in the house.
