Musical performances from Bobby Boykin, Ryssa Harris, and Martha Anne have compiled a show comprised of a variety of tunes including Blues, Traditional Country, Old Rock and Oldies.

With these three singers, your audience will be either mesmerized in their seats or on their feet dancing. Barbra Streisand, Patsy Cline, Etta James, The Carpenters, Diana Ross, Credence Clearwater Revival, and most of all the Beatles have all influenced Martha Anne. She has put together a band which embraces the music world with unconditional love. Some venues for the band include the Pour House in Kirby, Texas and the VFW on Austin Hwy in San Antonio, Texas.
