Marie Barlow Martin: News

Introducing Marie & Gordy's latest CD: How Can I Keep From Singing - Hymns...

HOT OFF THE PRESS!!! The new CD incorporates old hymns with new arrangements for a very special musical experience. Pick a quiet morning over coffee or block out a noisy world while driving - this CD will bring you into the presence of our Lord...

Rock Dove Records is proud to announce the newest album by Marie Barlow Martin and husband, Gordy Martin!

After the release of the artists’ first album, Dancer To The Drum, in December of 2004, requests for live appearances poured in. 2005 saw Marie and Gordy very busy with concert dates totaling no less than forty, and from these came the demand for a second album. The artists are going back into the studio in January of 2006 to record their next CD which will be arrangements for their favorites hymns many of which can be heard in their live performances.

Rock Dove Records will release this CD in spring, and it will be available on the artists’ website, www.mariebarlow.com or at Tower Records, CD Baby and Christian Light Bookstores among others. You can also access the artists’ calendar at www.mariebarlow.com/calendar if you wish to attend any of the scheduled engagements.

If you have not yet secured your copy of the limited release album, Dancer To The Drum, copies are still available at the above locations.

For more information about the artists, you may contact us at RockDoveRecords@mariebarlow.com

Again, good-bye to another year and hello to future possibilities! Doesn't it always feel as though you've been given a fresh start when the calendar turns as dramatically as it does between December 31 and January 1? Our 2006 is already looking very exciting and blessed. We'll begin our concert ministry at camps and retreats this year which will add a new dimension to the blessings God is pouring out to all involved. We are also not wasting any time on the new album - we go into the studio January 2nd and plan to have the CD completed by the end of April (more on that in a separate announcement). All in all, we have been amazed at where we have been lead in 2005 by God's grace and love, and we can only imagine that 2006 will be no less divine. Thanks to all of you who have supported us and encouraged us along the way. We are most grateful. Have a wonderful New Year!

WOW! Has it really been almost a year since our first album came out? Has it really been more than two months since I updated everyone on how things are going?? So sorry! Time does fly. We have exciting things in the works, and as you can see by our calendar, we are very busy. We are exceedingly blessed by God's goodness and continue to be obedient to His calling...soon there will be an announcement about our upcoming CD (yes, another one alredy - can you believe it??) as well as some personal updates to let you know what's happening in our lives. Suffice it to say, "We are blessed abundantly above all that we can ask or think!" More on this later...

Today we celebrate our first year in marriage and in our home. When we reflect upon the past year together, and we remember the Leap Of Faith we took one year ago today, we can hardly believe what God had in store for us and the journey we were about to take. We are thrilled to know that this journey has only just begun and that with each day that we wait upon the Lord, we are that much more whole and healed to be able to be all that He made us to be. Mostly, we are thankful for this marriage that God has given to us, and we cherish it with all our being. We pray that you and yours are as happy as we...

Hi Again!

Well, new things on the horizon and happenings all around! First, please take a look at our new pictures on the website! Gordy and I took some promo shots which will be used for fliers, postcards, banners and the like - you can find them on our Photo Album page, our Bio page and our Contact Us page at this point. We'll be modifying these in the future. If you should need any promo materials for your venue, please let us know and we can send these to you in just about any format imaginable.

We have also been blessed with some exciting concerts in the near future: we will be singing about marriage and family values at a function hosted by Governer Ed Rendell and the American Family Coalition of Pennsylvania this month...we will be pairing up with inpirational speaker Connie Pombo in her effort to impart strength to others through her struggle with cancer and to share the ways her faith in God has brought her to where she is today...and Sandy Cove Christian Ministries has booked us for an entire weekend of praise & worship as well as a full length concert along with top-selling author Liz Curtis Higgs next May among many others...

We have been most blessed. Please stay in touch with us - we love to hear from you.

Hi All! Well, Spring has certainly sprung, and the world is quite beautiful from our window...I've identified (so far) 52 different species of birds in our yard, am watching the bulbs bloom which I planted last fall, and am enjoying my work at the horse stables tremendously!

We've been most blessed to have booked some exciting concerts this year as well as next year. We have put together very nice packets which we can send out to any venue or organization that might be interested in booking us. Please, if you know of a particular person or place where we should send our information, we would appreciate the contact or referral. Just email us here on our website with the information, and we'll take it from there.

We hope your Spring is a rebirth for you in your own way! Stay in touch - we love to hear from you.

We're in the stores!!! That's right - all five Christian Light Bookstores in and around Lancaster, PA are now carrying Dancer To The Drum! This is an exciting step for us, and we're grateful to Christian Light Bookstores for their support. Please send them your business!
