In a recent promotional push, Vicci Martinez made stops in Southern New Jersey and Pennsylvania. She then headed to the Midwest region with stops in Ohio, Michigan, Minnesota, with a layover in Chicago,IL. Vicci’s stop at Cincinnati’s (WKRQ) Q102 (Twitter:@WKRQ) grabbed her single “Come Along”, a spot on the radio station’s play list. While Vicci was in Ohio, Brian Douglas took some amazing photos of Vicci like the ones you see here. (Photos by: Brain Douglas)
While in Grand Rapids, MI, Vicci did a performance for Mix 95.7 (Twitter:@Channel957) at the Sweet Yo’s stop.  She sang “Jolene” and explained to the radio station that while on the show, “The Voice” wanted her to sing something newer and fresher. After talking it over with her coach CeeLo Green, they both agreed that “Jolene” was a song that the younger generation should learn to know and thats what she was going to sing. While at the radio station, she also sang “Touch That Fire” and single “Come Along” from her Album ‘VICCI’. This started the 95-7 New Music Showdown. Each weekday at 6:30pm, the radio station puts two up and coming artists or songs against each other and YOU the listener, get to determine which song will be played each day. Vicci was first paired up against her fellow musician and friend Ryan Star, who she edged out by only a little more than 1%. Each night since then she has been slaying the competition. So far she has taken out One Direction, Matchbox Twenty, Hunter Hayes, Megan & Liz, and Neon Trees. I know we will keep voting for her every night from near and far!
Vicci also had a little Halloween fun while in Chicago on her layover. She tweeted this exciting and unique picture on twitter. Doesn’t she make the cutest little Indian warrior?
I found this fun video with Vicci talking about how her grandmom would scare her with stories of “La Llorona”.
On October 30th Vicci played an acoustic evening in Minneapolis at The Aster Cafe. She aslo stopped in at KS95 (KSTP) (Twitter:@ks95) for a quick interview that you can see below.
Vicci aslo stopped by Cities 97 (KTCZ) (Twitter:@cities97radio) and did a couple of songs along with an interview at StudiFebo C in Minneapolis.
Prior to Vicci’s trip to the Midwest she teamed up with her “The Voice” mentor CeeLo Green, former teammates , and a few current season 3 Team CeeLo contestants. They joined together in Las Vegas for an early Holiday Special. The Special was filmed in Vegas at the Planet Hollywood Hotel resort. “The Voice” stars weren’t the only stars in the building… That’s right the Muppet’s were there to assist them on CeeLo’s forth coming Christmas album called “CeeLo Green’s Magic Moment”. Vicci will be singing “River” with her Season 1 Battle Rounds opponent Niki Dawson. Vicci and Niki’s Battle Rounds duet of Pink’s “Perfect” is still hailed as one of “The Voice’s” most EPIC battles ever! The concert special will premiere November 26 on the TV Guide network and on the Warner Sound’s YouTube channel with portions of the show airing on “The Voice” as well.
