Martina McBride, a multiple Grammy-nominated country icon, is performing in St. Charles this month at the J. Scheidegger Center for the Arts, sponsored by World Wide Technology. Her incomparable vocals have kept her at the top of the charts, garnering six No. 1 hits and twenty top 10 singles. Selling more than 18 million albums to date, McBride has earned fourteen Gold, nine Platinum, three Double Platinum and two Triple Platinum certifications. She’s been honored with more than 15 major music awards, including four wins from the Country Music Association and three Academy of Country Music Awards for Female Vocalist of the Year.
McBride released It’s The Holiday Season, a nine-song holiday album, which she’ll be performing at Lindenwood Dec. 21.
When Martina isn’t in the studio or on the road, she focuses her time on charitable causes dear to her heart. Through her Team Music Is Love charity initiative, Martina partners with nonprofit causes to help many of the communities she's performing in. Martina also invites fans to join her team in making the world a better place through the power of music. Since 2011, Team Music Is Love has been responsible for many successful fundraising and volunteer projects helping causes such as hunger relief, cancer research, combating domestic violence and helping children in need. Martina has been awarded the Covenant House Beacon of Hope Award and Music Business Association’s prestigious Harry Chapin Memorial Humanitarian Award for her philanthropic efforts on behalf of domestic violence.
One of her other passions is cooking. In 2018, Martina released her second cookbook, Martina’s Kitchen Mix: My Recipe Playlist for Real Life. The new collection includes nearly 300 pages of family recipes and new creations from her own kitchen. In 2014, McBride released her first book, Around the Table, a full-color illustrated collection of her favorite recipes, hosting tips, practical menu planning advice and themed décor inspiration. Last year also saw the debut of McBride’s Food Network show, Martina’s Table. Martina shares recipes from her cookbooks, what life on the road is like, and hosts inspirational gatherings for friends and family. Martina’s Table can currently be seen on the Food Network every Sunday at 11 a.m., CT and through most streaming providers.
Martina lives in Nashville with her husband, John, and their three daughters. You can keep up with her on Facebook, as well as Twitter and Instagram.
