    The voice is unique, unmistakable and timeless…Los Angeles Times’ Robert Hilburn called her “arguably the most charismatic female performer in rock”…
    For Martha Davis, the most important thing has always been the songs she writes. Martha began writing songs at the age of 15, and moved to Los Angeles in the early ‘70s, where she began The Motels, who were immediately signed to Capitol Records in 1979. In 1982, the Motels released All For One, and the smash single ‘Only The Lonely’ rocketed in to the Top 10, immediately propelling the album to gold status and truly breaking The Motels in the United States. After a number of successful albums, Martha took a sabbatical from the music scene in 1988, prompting the question, “Where have you been?”
    “Looking for my sense of humor,” she says. “I seemed to have lost it somewhere around 1984. It’s not a business that one should be in without a sense of humor.” Though constantly writing, Martha left center stage to work on various collaborations and even a musical of her own. Capitol Records has recently reissued The Motel’s legendary All For One album, and Martha and The Motels have begun touring and performing across the country.
