What are the critics and attendees saying?

 

"From the very moment the light came up Martin shows his audience that this is not a concert. This is not a play. This may not even be entertainment, but what it is is an immersion into a life experience that will run the gamut of emotions and hopefully leave you feeling human as you come out the other end. Martin is a living, breathing concept album that will leave you yearning for his next release . . . This show should not be missed. It is an evening of entertainment bliss. "

Mike Zellhofer, Backstage Baltimore

 

"[Ross Martin's] original music is catchy and compelling, his characterization of a down-on-his-luck Southerner is sharp and his overall message of the healing power of music is uplifting . . . [His] song about learning to waltz is one of the finest new musical-theater compositions I’ve heard in ages."

Matthew J. Palm, Orlando Sentinel

 

"Pleasantly mystical, well sung and well composed, we find a ready-to-rock and roll one man show that can expand or contract to the time available . . . This is a ready to rock and roll hour that could take writer Martin far."

Carl F Gauze, Ink19.com

"Ross Martin's Miss Isabella Rainsong and Her Traveling Companion was an audience favorite at The Florida Festival of New Musicals and is receiving very positive reviews from the press! The show encompasses the story of a man who hits rock bottom and then begins his reformation through music with the help of a beautiful guitar that mystically comes into his life. The songs are mesmerizing and Ross's performance is captivating! If you get the chance to experience this show, don’t miss it!"

Roy Alan, Executive Director, Winter Park Playhouse
 

"Martin is convincing as an actor, using voice, dialect, and movement to tell his story in a compelling way. As a musician, Martin soars with piercing vocals and practiced acoustic guitar solos . . . [his] folk-pop style is reminiscent of singer songwriters Jack Johnson or James Taylor."

Lisa Schauer, The Morgan Messenger

 

"A scallywag type of guy with a magical guitar delivers 'just what the doctor ordered.' What happens on stage somehow reaches into the heart and soul of everyone."

Jane McCloud, Editorial in The Morgan Messenger
