2016 album.
Our Overview.
Martha Wainwright was engulfed in a sea of music from childbirth. Born in Montreal to parents of Loudon Wainwright III and Kate McGarrigle, and sister to Rufus. Can any of us imagine how she could not wish to pursue a career in music? But originally she did. Independently determined to refute her heritage, she became agitated at the thought of a musical career during high school. Shunning music, she decided to study drama at Montreal's Concordia University instead.
But the ‘itch that needed to be scratched’ was always there and soon after starting her studies she began composing her own material and performing in clubs and coffeehouses around Montreal. In 1997, she released her debut effort, a cassette entitled Ground Floor. She also began touring with her older brother Rufus Wainwright as a backing vocalist and musician. In a press release she said “I’m very excited to announce my new album GOODNIGHT CITY is out November 11th!”. We too are delighted about news of a new album and ever hungry to hear it for ourselves.
