A RISING Canadian artist is set to embark on her first UK headline tour in six years - and she is preparing to stop-off in Ardleigh.

Singer-songwriter Christina Martin will headline The Little Rabbit Barn, on March 9.

Christina’s vocal style has been compared to vocalists like Stevie Nicks and Sarah McLachlan.

Musically, her songs span the genres of pop, rock, folk, and americana.

Christina’s latest record Storm is said to be raw and honest about the human condition.

Christina is extremely excited to visit the UK again.

She said: “I really look forward to and appreciate touring in the UK.

“With no shortage of stellar live music to choose from, UK audiences have always pushed me to be in my best form musically.

“There's an appreciation for the stripped-down versions of my recorded music, and UK audiences tolerate my Canadian quips.

“I'm looking forward to many lovely laughs, both on and off stage.”
