It is the last stop on a long journey across Eastern Canada into the Northeast States ending up in the Midwest. Alternative folk-songstress Marta Pacek has been charming audiences the world over with her beautiful voice and honest and intimate songwriting. Armed with a collection of 11 new, original songs, written in her own beautifully intense and moody style, as well as a cover of Patty Griffin’s Nobody’s Crying, Marta is set to release her new album, Rebel Baby, on May 8. Following her release show that day in Toronto at the Rivoli, Marta will embark on an 18-date North American tour. Rebel Baby was a created while Marta was touring the U.S., Canada and Europe and therefore features the talents of many Canadian artists including; Justin Rutledge, Jason Mercer and Jerome Godboo. On her last visit, Marta filmed "A Girl Gets By" (co-written with Neil Murchison) which won the 2011 Best Alt Country Song award (National) at the Canberra Country Music Festival in Canberra, Australia. Check it out on YouTube. Marta's honest lyrics and passionate voice lay bare her soul for all to hear. Polish born, Australian raised singer-songwriter Marta grew up in the Conservative Australian capitol of Canberra and left the family nest at 20, moving to Melbourne to focus her career entirely on the arts.....Check out the biography section on her web site for additional details on her interesting history and rise to prominence in the recording industry. Web Site: Music By Marta Facebook: Music by Marta Twitter: http://www.twitter.com/musicbymarta Various Reviews: Her tales can be anything from hauntingly reflective to highly infectious folk/pop songs. They are distinct stories of fear, betrayal, discovery, love found and love thrown away.” .....Herald Sun While most of her contemporaries were already listening to CDs, Marta Pacek regularly rummaged through her parents' old vinyl collection. As a result she immersed herself in the world of Joni Mitchell, Fleetwood Mac, Neil Diamond, Tim Buckley and Hunters and Collectors. Not surprisingly, these influences can be found in Marta's debut CD "All The Good Ones Have Gone"(2006). The EP is a result of collaborating with Mark Seymour (Hunters & Collectors front man) and Suzie Dickinson. .....www.abc.net.au/oztrax "Sultry songstress Marta Pacek’s latest release Rebel Baby is a sexy, neo-folk serenade. This Canadian by way of Poland and Australia has been causing a quiet storm of late, touring and recording her way across the Americas and Europe. Catch her on-record and in concert to see and hear what the buzz is all about." .....Jon Regan Below is a video about the making of Rebel Baby along with Marta's thoughts about her past. |
