Martha Wainwright

Twenty years ago, Martha Wainwright stepped out of her family’s illustrious shadow, announcing herself to the world with the stunning debut album ‘Martha Wainwright’. Featuring ‘B.M.F.A.’ about her father Loudon Wainwright III, as well as ‘Factory’ and ‘When The Day Is Short’, this debut record immediately proved Martha was a major talent.

This spring, PIAS will release a special version of the album on vinyl for the first time. With 6 further records under her belt, Martha looks back fondly at her debut:

“20 years later, with 6 other albums under my belt, 2 kids and a career that is chugging along, I can safely say my first record paved my way forward. On March 21st we will release the record on vinyl for the first time ever as well as digitally release unheard songs, outtakes and early material from that 10 year period of discovery that led to my first record. There will be a tour with a few great musicians, where I’ll play the record in its entirety as well as a few new songs – there’s no 48 year old me without the 28 year old me.”
