Bio

Described by bassist Stanley Banks as "the closest you will ever get to the spirit of Janis," Regina Martin is a powerful blues singer inspired by Aretha Franklin, Joss Stone and Janis Joplin. She performs regularly with Richie Cannata's Billy Joel band in NYC, and has been featured by Steve Sage in festivals opening for performers like Jinx Jones, Chris Cain and the Tommy Castro Band.

Born in San Jose, California, Regina began performing at the age of three, singing duets with her pianist father. She learned harmonies from her mother, a singing drummer featured on Ted Mack. At 13, Regina caught the attention of country music legend Brenda Lee, who said, "Kid, you're going places."

"Regina has a presence on stage that stays with you," said Triple Platinum producer Jim Sabella. "Her voice is always full of emotion and control. Regina knows how to command an audience. It's real. From the heart. There is no acting, or trying to be someone else."
