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.

All this time I thought I’d be sporting one of the first Nexus One’s with gingerbread! ugh, now I gotta save up for one of the new androids that don’t have a trackball or notification light. LAME! and that nexus s really isn’t that great looking, other than the screen. I think the LG Star should be the next nexus!

  7. Hallo Erich,ganz ehrlich, ich lasse das jetzt wieder mit meinen Filmkäufen im iTunes Store. Das ist mir echt zu schlecht. Schade aber, da es wirklich schön bewquem war. Komisch irgendwie das mit der Qualität, denn meine ersten Einkäufe scheinen mir erheblich besser auszusehen. Ich versteh’s nicht.

  11. / I was basically wanting to know if you ever considered replacing the page layout of your blog? It is well written; I really like what youve got to say. But maybe you can include a a bit more in the way of content so people might connect to it better. You have got a great deal of wording for only having one or two pictures. Maybe you could space it out better? 2125

  12. Not very professional, Steve. This kind of thing will ensure that HBD never gains popularity outside backwater blogs. Because if there is one thing which "professionals" do, it is never to tell the truth if that truth may seem offensive to somebody, somewhere.

  13. My last psuedo-relationship exploded in my face after I did something stupid, and resulted in my ex casually hooking up with one of my best friends, in front of me, to piss me off. I think…to be fair I was in somewhat of a drunken stupor and no one will confirm or deny that.The point of my rambling diatribe? The truth fucking hurts, but you have to be brutally honest with yourself to avoid such a nifty phrase as “cognitive dissonance.” I’ve got this cool theory that years of unnecessary guilt will wreak havoc on your subconscious.

  14. Justine Bonjour à tous, je n’arrive pas à séduire un homme que j’ai rencontré à une soirée, chez une amie. On a discuté au moins 2h au cours de cette soirée, et on s’est même trouvé un point commun pour le patinage artistique (je le pratique depuis 5ans). Il a prit mon numéro mais voilà une semaine qu’il ne m’a plus rappelé, malgré le fait qu’il avait l’air vraiment intéressé par mois. Avez-vous une idée les filles ? Merci de vos conseils, j’aimerais beaucoup le revoir. 0  0

  20. Hi! Great video.. however, i have an extremely silly question. Why do you think I am unable to see the home page content at all. I did everything possible on the wp-admin part to show all the content on the live site. But my home page shows absolutely nothing. Not even the slider or the small boxes below it.Please help !

  21. I’ll immediately grasp your rss feed as I can not in finding your e-mail subscription link or newsletter service. Do you have any? Kindly allow me know in order that I could subscribe. Thanks.

  22. I don’t believe so. If you’re not driving you shouldn’t be in anyone’s pool. Are you working inside a company where you might potentially need to move a truck e.g. dispatch? Otherwise it sound like someone just forgot to take you out of their database.Hope this helps.Dr. Kenn

  23. fcI couldn’t agree more…seems like more and more people are looking to find an easy way to make some quick money and sitting on a floor to be stepped on would be an easy lawsuit for some easy money.

  27. Another stupid policy that will end up destroying the Republican party. The last thing we need in Georgia is to destroy our farming economy because our legislature wanted to get on the "keep our borders closed" bandwagon. The chicken farmers can't get "legal" workers to pluck the chickens and are thus losing their incomes. Most of the illegal farm workers are church going and hard working who just want a better life for themselves and their families. This is hardly California or South Texas.

  28. Hi — I almost said, “hope you are feeling better soon” when I realized that your cold is long a thing of the past! My favorite money saving is entertaining at home — love that. Like everyone else we have cut back — quite a lot — this year. It’s getting to be a good habit!Cass

  30. The only way you can really find out if they are worth anhiytng is to seek the advice of a reputable coin dealer. Over the internet, they can tell you ANYTHING. But the only way your coins can be appraised is to actually have them evaluated in person.
