Who is Martine Locke?
Martine Locke is an Australian singer/songwriter/guitarist. She has performed in the US and Australia, touring with Ani DiFranco, The Cowboy Junkies, Arlo Guthrie and Luka Bloom.
In 1996, Locke started an acoustic duo called The Velvet Janes with Rose Farrow. They have released four albums on Locke's record label, Passionfruit Produce, selling 80,000 copies to date.
Since 1996, Locke has performed with the Velvet Janes at festivals such as Willamette Valley Folk Festival, Iowa Women's Music Festival, Portland Pride, Midwest Women's Autumnfest and Bethlehem Musikfest, Port Fairy Folk Festival and Michigan Women's Music Festival.
Locke moved to the USA in March 2000 after touring back and forth between Australia and the US so much that she decided to make the move. Believing that The Velvet Janes would continue as a group and go on to bigger and better things with the move, she worked for the next four years booking tours and opportunities for The Velvet Janes to perform. When home commitments for Farrow and struggles maintaining a touring schedule with so much distance between the two took its toll, The Velvet Janes decided to take a hiatus.
