Martina McBride made history with her most recent album EVERLASTING as the first solo female artist to debut at #1 on the Top Country Albums chart with an independently released and distributed album in the chart's 50-year history. The project also marks her fifth chart-topping debut. To date, she has sold over 18 million albums, which have included 20 Top 10 singles and six #1 hits. The Grammy nominee has earned more than 15 major music awards, including four wins for Female Vocalist of the Year from the Country Music Association, as well as being honored with the Covenant House Beacon of Hope Award and Music Business Association’s prestigious 2015 Harry Chapin Memorial Humanitarian Award for her philanthropic efforts on behalf of domestic violence and using her voice throughout her musical career with songs like “Independence Day” and “A Broken Wing.” An Opry member since 1995, the petite powerhouse’s EVERLASTING TOUR has sold out shows across the country and Rolling Stone Country lauds: “It's familiar music coming from one of the most recognizable voices of any genre, yet with a stage plot unlike anything in McBride's illustrious 22-year career.” Ever the entertainer, Martina also released her first book, Around The Table, a full-color illustrated collection of her favorite recipes, hosting tips, practical menu planning advice, and themed décor inspiration. While Martina is expected to release new music as part of the innovative Nash Icon Records roster, she has released a studio version of “Over The Rainbow.” The personal song, which she performed on American Idol season XIV, has been a staple in Martina’s setlist for years and is available now across digital retailers.
