Martha L. Healy @ The Glad Cafe with special guests The David Latto Band

Southsider, Martha L. Healy, was raised on the sounds of classic American artists such as Bonnie Raitt, The Eagles, The Travelling Wilburys and female country legends, Dolly Parton, Patsy Cline and Loretta Lynn.

Half-Irish, half-Scottish Martha's journey from playing solo in her hometown of Glasgow to the recording of her debut album in Nashville, Tennessee, is the story of a girl who stuck to her guns, remained true to the music she was brought up on and dared to dream.

The album, Better Days, is an uplifting and impressive debut - with gospel, soul, country and cajun influences running throughout.

Already gaining airplay on Another Country with Ricky Ross, The Tom Morton Show, Iain Anderson show on BBBC Radio Scotland and Celtic Music Radio, Martha started off 2015 with a gig at Celtic Connections.

Catch her in Glasgow before she heads out on tour in Ireland, Scotland and America later in the year.

"Better Days, Better Days are comin'........."

Also playing, The David Latto Band....

"I was born between two bridges" sings David Latto in honey-soaked tones on 'Rollin' On'. Those bridges aren't in Madison County nor are they spanning rivers outside Nashville but no matter. Wherever they are it's the quality of his achingly beautiful songwriting that soothes and knows no borders.

The bridges and the barley fields mentioned in that song are, in fact, located in Fife, Scotland where he grew up and where he has assembled a fine band, recorded four CDs, garnered awards and radio plays here, there and probably close to where you are too.

He's won over fans and festival goers the hard way: one by one, gaining a devoted following. Touring Europe with North Carolina legend Phil Lee led to a mutual admiration and now it can be heard on David's cover of Phil's 'We Cannot Be Friends Anymore' on the new EP 'Here Today, Ghost Tomorrow' released April 2014.

Alt-country? Americana? Whatever. It's just beautiful songs about love, loss and drinking.
