A Brief Profile of Martha Redbone by Larry Flick

Dear Sir or Madam,

 I am writing this email to follow up on previous e-mails and see if you are interested in helping us promote one of the hottest up and coming artists on the music scene today - Martha Redbone. In the past few months, she has gained recognition both on and off the internet.   I have attached a copy of an article in Billboard magazine that features Martha.

  Let me rewind to re-introduce myself and refresh your memory.   My name is Maria Feola and I am the marketing manager for Two Sheps That Pass..., an independent music marketing company that works with the smaller labels to help them get exposure as flourishing new artists.  We were have been retained by Blackfeet Productions to run an internet campaign to create awareness for Martha on websites that make sense.  Well, your site makes sense to me.  When she plays out in clubs her audience is primarily 16-30 year old women, those who relate to the song’s lyrics and her unbounded power and energy.

 Martha Redbone is a young singer-songwriter from New York City who has been likened to Alicia Keys, Nelly Furtado, and Erykah Badu...but her style is all her own.  Her songs are an innovative blend of funk-tinged rock, R&B and pop.  More importantly, they are deep and moving.   It's not often that you hear music that sounds like it was crafted not in a studio, but at a dinner party where the guests included Sly Stone and Prince, Roberta Flack and Al Green. The kind of party where Joni Mitchell stops in for a cocktail and Minnie Riperton goes straight for the dessert, something sweet.  Martha Redbone makes that kind of music: not wh at soul music was or is, but what it will be. 

 So, with that said, how would you like to be part of breaking this inescapable star?   We would love to have you mention Martha’s first solo album, Home of the Brave, on your site, perhaps with the album image, perhaps with a link back to her site (www.martharedbone.com),

 Best Regards,

 Maria Feola
