Short Bio
Martha Groves Perry is a singer-songwriter, entertainer, and multi-instrumentalist based in San Francisco, California. Her bold, original Alternative Rock music has a straightforward, compelling and sometimes edgy clarity with flavors of Americana and blues. Her penetrating lyrics reflect the fearless truth-telling and unbothered amusement of a seasoned, female point of view.
Some characterize Martha’s music as a cross between Tom Waits, early Gwen Stefani, and the Indigo Girls, and her distinctive vocal style has been placed alongside those of Natalie Merchant, Stevie Nicks, Ricki Lee Jones, and Patti Smith. Martha captivates audiences with a magnetic stage presence alongside committed, engaging performances of her meaningful and substantive songs.
Martha is currently recording new material with Clarence Collins (Rock & Roll Hall of Fame, Little Anthony and the Imperials) and Pat Thrall (Pat Travers Band, Hughes/Thrall, Meatloaf, Asia, etc + 4 Grammy nominations). The first single from this exciting collaboration – BE RIGHT BACK – releases on January 16, 2026. Two more singles are already recorded, with 3-4 additional singles in production.
Martha celebrated the 2023 release of Call Out, her second LP and third release, with a sold out album release show at Art Boutiki Music Hall in San Jose CA followed by a tour in the US midwest & southeast including a debut in Nashville.

“Overall, this album is an exceptional example of Perry’s singer-songwriter skills …. Her sharp, no-nonsense numbers come complete with pensive thought-provoking lyrics that acknowledge the good, the bad, and the ugly in an intriguing, entertaining presentation of oft’times contrasting cuts and familiar universal themes.”
