Angela Faye Martin
Angela Faye Martin began writing her first songs in her late teens and began fronting various original rock bands, in Georgia soon thereafter. After forfeiting the struggle of keeping bands together, Angela Faye took to solo performing. In the mid 90's, she stopped performing and left for the north Georgia mountains to work in the conservation movement (for public forests and clean water).
In fall of 2003, Angela arrived at her new abode in the mountains of western North Carolina to write songs again, happily (where they began to arrive through trees like bubble wands on a spring breeze from the western sky and the Nantahala's). And subsequently self-released her sparse debut EP, ONE DARK VINE, in 2005.
She has since been received as a returning performer at Athens GA's, The Flicker Theatre & Bar, various western NC venues, including the Grey Eagle Music Hall and has performed live on NPR stations: WUGA Athens GA, North Carolina's WNCW FM, and WPVM FM and continues to reside in western North Carolina.
Her music has received critical acclaim from regional DJs, FLAGPOLE, SMOKY MOUNTAIN NEWS, and THE MOUNTAIN XPRESS.
Angela Faye is currently recording a collection of her latest songs for an upcoming album and will be playing select shows in 2008.
