Listen "7. Christina Martin: candid reflections on relationships, and why songwriting is sacred for her"

Episode Synopsis

Her music dances effortlessly through Pop, Rock, Folk and Americana traditions but stays deftly unchained by any one label, refusing to be pigeon-holed and unafraid to dip into stranger waters. The hooks hook, the hits hit hard, the words stop you dead and the music demands to be heard. Seven albums in with an eighth on the way, Christina Martin’s music is there for anyone who’s felt up against impossible odds, yet refused to lie down.

Christina Martin has been one of my very closest friends for over 15 years... and we met on MySpace. Remember MySpace?? I sat down with her in her Nova Scotia home during the Atlantic run of my own Rolling Wave Tour. She has the depth of the ocean, and the playful power of the rolling waves, too. After a week of me staying with her and her husband Dale Murray in their home, we sat down to dive deep into relationships, communication, songwriting, and why we keep going. Enjoy our conversation, recorded April 21, 2023.
