A tremendously talented country singer, Martina McBride has released numerous chart-topping albums over the course of her career. Born in Kansas, McBride entered the world of country music as a teen when she played with her father's band the Schifters. She later moved to America's country music capital, Nashville, and released her debut album, The Time Has Come, in 1992. Her second album, The Way That I Am, brought McBride widespread popularity, featuring the Top Five hit "My Baby Loves Me." In 1994, McBride won a GRAMMY Award® for her song "Independence Day." Additional hit songs include "Wild Angels," "A Broken Wing" and "This One's for the Girls."

Martina is an energetic and enthuastic entertainer. It was a one of a kind birthday present to see her in concert.
My wife and I saw Martina years ago at one of the Tunica casinos, and the show was unreal. Terrific sound; her voice was incredible (as always); and the concert hall was perfect for her type of act. I found out about the Desoto Civic Center concert through a Ticketmaster email....didn't see much local advertising (I did hear a radio commercial this morning, though......the day AFTER the event). We were disappointed to see the auditorium less than half full. I don't know if this is related to the economy, local ads, or what.....but you would think a country artist with the caliber of Martina McBride would be able to draw more than 2,000 or so fans. Also, the sound did not seem well mixed. In the opening act (Justin Moore - forgettable) the bass guitar and drums were too loud, which drowned out lyrics. In Martina's show, her voice didn't seem to dominate like it does in a smaller venue. She also mixed in quite a few cover songs, which was surprising, given the number of hits she has had on her own. Bryan Adams, Journey.....could have lived without these in place of other Martina songs. The Classic Country hit medley, though, was excellent. All in all, it was still a Martina concert, with her brilliant voice and unique ability to reach each person in her audience -- whether 200 or 2,000. We'll definitely go see her again....but hopefully in a smaller, more intimate setting.
What an amazing talent!! We are still trying to figure out how such a beautiful and strong voice can come out of a tiny little person like her!! She blew us away!!
She is amazing - no matter where she performs, it will be a great show! Very touching, inspirational and just fabulous!
I really enjoyed the concert! Seats were great and the prices were not that bad! She put on a wonderful show and played ALL of my favorite songs (well, they are all my favorite). I had wanted to see her since I was 5 and finally got to! LOVED IT!!!
Martina gave an amazing performance. The atmosphere and sounds were truly the best concert I have ever been to. My sister and law came along for the concert. She had never had interest in country music. She mentioned that, " this was a great performance by Martina". We all wanted to go back the next night and watch it again.
Martina's music was wonderful and we enjoyed the fact that she focused on entertaining us with it instead of stand-up commedy! However, we thought the background music and acoustics in the theater were a bit overwhelming ... it could have been toned down several notches and been just as impressive. Gotta do something about those non-state-of-the-art video screens, too! With today's technology and L'Auberge's reputation for entertainment, they might consider upgrading that. It was too bad that we had to ask the young things sitting behind us to tone down their enthusiasm for stomping their feet and yelling in our ears!
Martina was awesome!!! So excited about going. Have seen about every other country star but her and I got tickets immediately when they went on sale. Martina and Reba are truly two of my favorite country singers. Hope to see both of them again!
Martina is Real. We loved the show! The show was all we hoped it would be.
Best concert ever!! Amazing vocals, so strong they touch the soul and tears flow. She is dynamic, energetic and she puts everything she has into the show. She loved being up there and we loved being in the audience watching her. Highly recommend this show!!!
This was an amazing concert. The sound and lighting were excellent, and Martina sang for almost two hours.
Excellent !!! the girl can hit a note. i have seen martina at cmafest 3 times and last nite and she always is ON !!! justin moore was really good too.
Most amazing singer I have ever heard. Sounded better live than on tv or cd. Sang straight through for almost two hours and voice was just as powerful at end as it was at beginning
Martina was her usual golden voice self for a solid 90 minutes, The mix of hits she played included several from her new releases as well as good ole country from earlier recordings. Well worth the trip!!
She has a terrific voice and puts on a great show.
Martina has a good personal interaction with the crowd. Very strong performer.
This was really an amazing experience. Martina was incredible, and didn't hold back at all.
Martina is breathtaking! Always classy and her performance is angelic. She always puts on an awesome concert for her fans.
Martina was simply the best!!! She absolutely raised the roof. The venue was small and a great place to see anyone in concert.
Martina was great! Definitely worth going even on a Sunday night
