  • Bio

    This Milwaukee singer is Martha Cannon, and she blurs the line between folk ballad and torch song, show tune and work song. With a voice and delivery that says smoke-filled night club and instrumentation that says bluegrass porch jam, Lady Cannon's music is a lovely example of Lady Day meets Lampchop (WMSE 91.7, Milwaukee) <script type="text/javascript"> var _gaq = _gaq || []; _gaq.push(['_setAccount', 'UA-8393712-3']); _gaq.push(['_trackPageview']); (function() { var ga = document.createElement('script'); ga.type = 'text/javascript'; ga.async = true; ga.src = ('https:' == document.location.protocol ?

    You had a great set last night.  You did an upbeat tune I hadn't heard before that was very catchy.  It was a fun show.

    If I'd known before just now that you did a cover of Be My Angel, I would have had us practiced our cover of Fade Into You, but the cover we decided on should be fun in an ironic sort of way.

    Hey, I enjoyed your band at Bremen, very unique and interesting sound.  I was just passing through town and didn't get to stick around for the whole set.  Let me know if your band ever plays in Chi town...

Bio:

LADY CANNON (Martha Cannon): A singer with the voice of Hope Sandoval (Mazzy Star) and the ghosts of authentic American folk: Lady Cannon is a fresh take on well-worn traditions. Splitting its time between realistic romance and a jugband's whimsy, Lady Cannon draws from timeless themes—love, loss and the like—and updates the spirit of back porch sing-alongs for the indie-minded. (ERIC LEWEN, freelance writer/music critic) This Milwaukee singer is Martha Cannon, and she blurs the line between folk ballad and torch song, show tune and work song. With a voice and delivery that says smoke-filled night club and instrumentation that says bluegrass porch jam, Lady Cannon’s music is a lovely example of Lady Day meets Lampchop (WMSE 91.7, Milwaukee)
