Singer and actress Sally Martin has won accolades from New York, Washington, DC and Baltimore media critics. The Washington Post hailed her first CD as “extraordinary” and called her “wonderfully controlled singing both dreamy and wise.” She also won plaudits from The Washington Post for her portrayal of Marlene Dietrich in the Horizons Theatre production of "In Good Company: Sexual Icons."

One of her biggest fans, acclaimed writer and lyricist Judith Viorst, who wrote liner notes for Sally's latest album, writes: "Whether she is addressing us as an elegant French chanteuse, a doomed Irish lad, or a besotted romantic, Sally brings to her music a rueful recognition of life's tough realities and sweet possibilities, its inevitable disappointments and head-spinning joys."

In New York, Ms. Martin has headlined at Don't Tell Mama's and Danny's Skylight Room, appeared as Sabine in Bill Bruehl’s “The Guesthouse of the Holy Ghost” for the New York's Dramatists' Guild, and performed solo concerts at Federal Hall, Green Auditorium, and T.R. Roosevelt's Birthplace.

In Washington, DC, she has graced stages at the Kennedy Center for the Arts, the Music Center at Strathmore, the French Embassy, the Corcoran Gallery of Art, the Arts Club of Washington, the Lyceum, and was chosen as the inaugural artist for the first presentation at Washington, DC’s newest performing arts space, the Atlas Theatre. A regularly featured artist at the “In Series”, Ms. Martin has appeared at the Tivoli Theatre, the Czech Embassy, the Belgian Ambassador’s residence, Lisner Auditorium, and numerous hotels and clubs. In Washington these have included the Willard Hotel, the Ritz Carlton, the Sofitel, the Mayflower, the cruise ship Odyssey, and the Woodmont Country club. She has appeared as guest soloist with the Alexandria Symphony, performing French songs of the Belle Époque. She also keeps a busy schedule of performances at private and corporate events.

Three times she has sold out performances as part of the prestigious Corcoran Gallery of Art concert series. Her first one-woman show “Kabarett: An Evening with Sally Martin” explored the theme of love in many guises and the music of Germany, France and contemporary musical theatre. Reviewer Mary Bird wrote "This classically trained singer has found that the medium of cabaret enables her to relate more directly with her audience, and so she did with style to spare." Her appearance with Washington Opera tenor Byron Jones in “A Parisian Valentine” was such a hit, the French Embassy invited the duo for a reprise performance at the Maison Française. She was invited back for an unparalleled third engagement at the museum where she unveiled her newest recording and show “Another Time, Another Place”.

Washington reviewer Michael Miyazaki wrote “…tonight’s audience at the Corcoran was privileged to see an artist working at full steam. [She has] a passion to communicate with the audience. She also looked amazing.” TV Critic Rich Massabny said “Sally Martin has it all! She’s the perfect cabaret singer with a sultry voice.”

In Baltimore, she starred in Baltimore's Everyman Theatre’s sold-out run of "Jacques Brel Is Alive and Well and Living in Paris" and delighted audiences at the Blakemore recital series. She received standing ovations for her multiple shows at the Prince Theatre in Chestertown, Maryland and her appearances in Annapolis, Maryland. She has appeared twice at the historic Lyceum in Alexandria, VA, most recently for the Alexandria Performing Arts Association. Other credits include Le Néon French-American Theatre, Interact Theatre Company, Opera Americana, and the Signature Theatre Cabaret Series.

Ms. Martin studied voice with celebrated lieder singer Ilse Wolf of the Royal Academy of Music in London, England; Marie Gibson at Stanford University; Martha Randall at the University of Maryland; and Elizabeth Vrenios at American University. She also studied music in Vienna. Her vocal coaches have included Craig Carnelia, Richard Crittenden, Shelly Markham, Daniel Sticco, and James R. Fitzpatrick. She studied acting at Washington's Studio Theatre and privately with Catherine Flye, Lee Mikeska Gardner, and Holly Twyford. Sally Martin is a member of Actors Equity.

Her new CD, "Another Time, Another Place," was released in September 2007, and was showcased with a CD release concert and reception at the Corcoran Gallery of Art. That CD, along with her first CD, “Journeys,” is available at CDBaby.com and at various local book and music stores in the Baltimore-Washington corridor.
