Marthia Sides is a country crossover singer/songwriter and a classically trained opera singer. (Which makes me want to know if she yodels!) The multi – talented performer was playful nickname “the NYC opera Singer “ while appearing on CMT’s reality competition show “Popularity Contest”. Her training adds a delicate flavor to her songs.
Don’t expect whiny country music from Sides she has a modern sound with strong country- roots. Her voice reflects her dedication to becoming a country force to be noticed.
Marthia Sides has a fantastic website. Like or don’t like her music, either way check out marthia.com a tiny Marthia comes out sings and talks to you.
“Perfect Girl” was her first single. The song sends a clear message, she isn’t going to put up with any more shit from this guy and is moving on! “Perfect Girl” resonated with listeners and received play on small and large radio markets.
“I’ve got it bad”. Is a beautifully executed blend of country and blues. It is my favorite track and I recommend you listen to it.
“Some Assembly Required” is a perfect song for Sides’ voice. Recording the song was a case of serendipity. She found of the song by chance while visiting music producer Jim Vest. Sides convinced Vest the song would be suited for her. It was a case of voice meets music! The playful song is a high spirited song that laments the pitfalls of dating and trying to find the right guy.
“I Got Faith” continues Sides on going work to empower women through her music. The song is the story of a woman whose friends are all married with children. Women can identify with her predicament of living paycheck to paycheck. The songs sends a positive message, you aren’t a failure. You only fail when you give up or you are dead. The song is definitely a toe tapper.

Piss on the piece of gov. paper. If you lose your wallet with your operators license in it did you also lose your driving skills? Same with ham radio, ohms law still functions in the universe without your papers being in order.
