Portrait of Martha S. Bache-Wiig

Martha’s musical journey has always been intertwined with her interest in learning about other lands and cultures. One particularly influential experience as a young adult was with a multicultural group, Sotavento, which interpreted traditional Latin American music. With this group she learned rhythms and styles from all over Latin America, which brought her new skills and perspectives and further fueled her desire to branch out and explore the world.

She ended up moving to Italy, where she lived for the next 24 years, and where she continued to compose original songs and music and perform as both a solo singer-songwriter and vocalist for jazz, R&B and folk-rock formations, performing in venues of all types, from theaters in the major cities, to stages in music festivals, to little clubs along the coast.

After returning to live in the USA in 2006, she took a long break from performing in public, and focused on developing her parallel career as a holistic counselor and the needs of her family. Recently the desire to play in public has returned, and she has enjoyed playing in some local venues in SE Wisconsin and did a house concert in Cosenza, Italy, in September 2024.

She particularly enjoys doing house concerts, where she can share her stories and her music in an intimate exchange with her listeners.
