Martha was raised on a diet of The Eagles, The Traveling Wilburys and folk heroes, The Dubliners. These were – and still are - staples of the Healy family vinyl collection. At the same time, she was listening to female artists like Sheryl Crow, Carol King, Dolly Parton and Patsy Cline and picked up the guitar to start writing her own songs. Her debut album, “Better Days,” was recorded in Nashville in 2014 and NEW ALBUM "Keep The Flame Alight" which was released on 5/10/2018 was recorded back there with David Spicher. The album has been likened to "a Nanci Griffith album with songs by Gretchen Peters" by Duncan Warwick of Country Music People Magazine. **** "one of the finest Americana albums out of the UK this year, Healy doesn't just keep the flame alight, she ensures it blazes" - Mike Davies, Folk Radio "With real emotions, real people and real stories coming through in spades via Martha L. Healy’s emotive vocals, you’ll find it difficult to find a better album from these shores in 2018." - Nick Cantwell, Belles and Gals
