Marty Winkler is several artists in one: a singer who's equal parts chanteuse, soul sister and earth mother; an actress who manages to exude both confidence and vulnerability with every breath; and a songwriter whose lyrics pull equally at your heart and your brain.

Flagpole Mention - “THE STREET YOU LIVED ON”
“Jazz and pop standards vocalist Marty Winkler just released her first single in four years. It’s a cover of Irving Berlin’s “What’ll I’ll Do?”, and the emotionally bare song features, at least here, an appropriately bare arrangement. It features only Winkler on vocals and Michael C. Steele on bass. It’s a gently heart-aching tune of longing and wishfulness, and Winkler says she intends to include it on a 2020 full album release.”
Gordon Lamb of Flagpole
