July 7, 2011 by Leave a Comment
Vicci has been a regular on King5 Seattle’s New Day program during her appearances on The Voice, and she was back on Wednesday, July 6th for two great songs and a fun interview.
You know you want to know how all the singers on The Voice memorized all those lyrics. Vicci reveals the deep secrets! Also hear her talk about what made her cry (its OK Vicci!) when she got back home this past weekend.
Skip to about 2:00 for her intro or 2:25 seconds to get right into Vicci singing! We’ll post the encore video here as soon as King 5 makes it available.
Vicci Martinez brings the Fireworks to Tacoma’s Freedom Fair
July 7, 2011 by 1 Comment
Vicci Martinez stopped by the Tacoma Freedom Fair to say thanks to her hometown crowd.
Vicci Martinez Army member @lovemcdlove was there to grab this movie of Vicci. Thanks for sharing! Vicci even signed her ipod for her!
My favorite moment was when Vicci asked “should I sing one of the songs I sang on the show or one of my songs?” and the crowd unanimously cheered “your song!” “Exactly” she responded. Watch for a great rendition of “Hold Me Darlin’ ” followed by “Rolling In The Deep”
Tacoma loves their home town girl!

Take the chances and the risks but always put your heart first! your life will become that paradise we want to live in. I promise.

Same Kinda Thing
July 4, 2011 by 1 Comment
Released Jun 28, 2011
(original release Aug 04, 1969)
In 1984 the band Talking Heads had a hit with Take Me to The River – many people didn’t know that song was a cover of a hit from Syl Johnson that reached number 7 on the charts in 1975. Syl Johnson had several R&B successes during the late 60s into the early 80s. He backed away from the music business but recently has been back on the circuit – now somewhat of a legend. Vicci has been working with Syl and Same Kinda Thing is her second iTunes release of a solid Syl Johnson tune, this one originally released in 1969. Vicci’s voice takes on a different tone in these R&B tunes from what listeners may be used to – a bit lighter capturing the mode of the times – but the groove is definitely there – have a listen.

The recording of this Live Album was Kismet. Vicci’s notes tell of an unassuming guy stopping by before a performance at Jazzbones – Vicci’s home away from home – to ask if they would mind if he recorded that night. It was a special night and this recording, from engineer Jeremiah Sheets, captures the energy that is a live Vicci Martinez performance. Backed by her band, Eric Roberts on keys, Rod Cook on lead guitar, Jeff Leonard on Bass and Darin Watkins on drums, Live at Jazzbones delivers all the artistry, emotion and fire that occurs when performer and audience are on the same wavelength. Three tracks, Touch The Fire, Hold Me Darlin’ and Fly To Heaven receive their first recording on this one of a kind album. In a limited pressing to help raise travel funds for the band – get it, help them and help yourself to some great ear candy.

The Voice – Final Results Show
July 4, 2011 by Leave a Comment
No one was sure what would happen – four strong finalists stood shoulder to shoulder with love for each other. “Drops of Jupiter” showed she had the music inside her. “Love is a Battlefield” showed she had the power inside her…even if she did have to wear a corset and feathers – or maybe because of it! Still, it wasn’t meant to be. But our Warrior gained Warrior Fans and we’ll continue to fight for love with Vicci Martinez.

The Voice – Final Solo
July 4, 2011 by Leave a Comment
Once again Vicci Martinez took the stage and owned it. Her performance reached out to the audience and pulled them close. “Afraid To Sleep” may have been demo’d before by other singers. But it became a Vicci Martinez original, and Vicci became a “big deal”. When she banged on that stage, we hurt right along with her.
