Samantha Martin & Delta Sugar concert at Griffin Park Theatre at 7: 30 p. m. Bubbling up from the cauldron of roots Americana music, Samantha Martin is an artist of extraordinary power, gravitas and deep- seated emotion. One is immediately struck by the awesome presence and sheer magnitude of her other worldly voice. As a songwriter she draws on black gospel and southern soul with a hint of roots country and sixties pop. The success of her live show is not the work of a single talent but done in combination with what she likes to term her co-vocalists. There are a limited number of tickets available at the door; $25/adult and $10/12 and under. Part of the Newell Concert Association.
