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.

In the wake of the recent Nashville flood, rising country artist Marthia Sides, who resides in Nashville and was also evacuated from her home close to the Cumberland River, and friends recently teamed up to put on a benefit concert for victims of the Nashville floods on May 12.

Held at Center Stage, the benefit raised money for Country Cares and was a success thanks to the artists who volunteered their time to perform, including Marty Raybon (former lead singer of Shenandoah); legendary country music artist Razzy Bailey; Lofton Creek Records artist Kristina Cornell; Grammy & Dove nominated contemporary Christian group DecemberRadio; Rachel Williams (former Nashville Star finalist); Thom Shepherd (hit songwriter for such songs as “Redneck Yacht Club”); Megan Linville; Clay Underwood; Vicki Raye; Kenny Olsen; Tim Akers (band leader for Rascal Flatts); Lindsey Hager; Chris Golden (son of William Lee Golden and band member of the Oak Ridge Boys); Charlotte Melody; Marc Eric; Rodeo; and Tommy York. Marthia also performed during the event.

“After speaking with friends who lost everything, I just couldn’t image starting from the ground up again. I decided to create an event and bring my love of music and my compassion for the flood victims together to help organize ‘Country Cares,’” said Sides.

  1. like Randy):I hope this means that my always posing w/ a glass of wine/beer does not make me more appear to be more of a lush. But it probably does… I'm sending you the energy of a bottomless Hawaiian Punch-flavored slurpee (go-to paper-writing sustenance) during your press for finals, but not the subsequent side effects, which I'll leave up to your imagination. Yay! Good luck—C+R

  2. 「Twin Earth上的人說出「æ°´」這個字,他所要表達的是Twin Earth上的水;而當老囧說出「æ°´」這個字,他所要表達的是地球上的水。」不對吧,老囧與Twin Earth上的人想表達的「æ°´」應該是宇宙中的水啊。Putnam錯的,因為:1. 如果H2O與XYZ只是分子式、元素符號的寫法不同。2. 如果H與X是本質上的不同,那就是化學家的新發現罷了:「æ°´」多了一種分子式,æ°´ = H2O = XYZ。

  7. io mando domande ad Attivissimo ed Undicisettembre sull’utilizzo e reperimento di foto che richiedono 3 secondi per rispondere e vengo bellamente ignoratoAlexandre,probabilmente perché l'utilizzo e il reperimento richiedono ben più di 3 secondi. Sei in coda come tanti altri. Posso solo chiederti di avere pazienza, il tempo è poco e la posta è tanta.

  8. Interessante articolo su questo fenomeno,che non sarebbe da svalutare perche fanno parte insieme agli altri LTP(Lunar Transient Phenomena)(Fenomeni Lunari transienti) di un ampia gamma di fenomeni che accadono sulla luna il cui studio potrebbe ampliare la conoscenza della geologia e della scienza in generale.Infatti recentemente un gruppo di scienziati che a creato una rete per lo studio di questi fenomeni.

  9. Some would say education isn’t the priority of our politicians when they decide what to fund. There’s not much money from the education lobby and if the electorate got smarter, they might not get away with what they do now. I guess this sounds paranoid, but educating our youth rather than having sheeple easy to maniuplate just might not be in the interest of some – particularly the Right. And if you’ve noticed recently – they aren’t too smart themselves. Anti-intellectualism is killing this country. Does Sarah Palin value education? Case closed.

  10. nee-e jag tycker det var bra med en sammanställd info-ruta! smidigt! 🙂 man fattar att du fÃ¥r t.ex. morranfrÃ¥gor arton gÃ¥nger om dagen + annat minst sagt sÃ¥ det här är ju bara till allas hjälp som vill veta jue. min frÃ¥ga var pÃ¥ skoj, i rollen som litet fans. hoho! 🙂

  11. Olen ihmeissäni siitä, miten paljon tyhmyyksiä ihmiset Facebookissa tekevät. Lopetin sen käytön yli vuosi sitten. Tilini on suljettu. En ole kaivannut Facebookia ollenkaan. Ne ihmiset, jotka oikeasti välittävät, soittavat puhelimella. Sitäpaitsi coolit naiset eivät koskaan chattaa. Se on merkki miehelle, että nainen on aina tietokoneen äärellä päivystävä epätoivoinen nörtti. Sellaiset ovat tietysti täysin epäkiinnostavia. Miehet haluavat naisia, jotka ovat vaikeasti tavoitettavissa.

  12. Zune and iPod: Most people compare the Zune to the Touch, but after seeing how slim and surprisingly small and light it is, I consider it to be a rather unique hybrid that combines qualities of both the Touch and the Nano. It’s very colorful and lovely OLED screen is slightly smaller than the touch screen, but the player itself feels quite a bit smaller and lighter. It weighs about 2/3 as much, and is noticeably smaller in width and height, while being just a hair thicker.
