Martha Wainwright (born May 8, 1976) is a Canadian-American folk-pop singer. She is the sister of Rufus Wainwright and the daughter of Loudon Wainwright III and Kate McGarrigle.
Wainwright has received positive reviews for her performances. She appeared at the 2007 Bonnaroo and at Belladrum Tartan Heart Festival, Inverness-shire in August 2007. She recently duetted with Snow Patrol at the V Festival, and performed with her brother at the Hollywood Bowl in September 2007.
Wainwright married Brad Albetta in September 2007.
Annie Lennox joined forces with Martha and 22 other female artists to raise awareness of the transmission of HIV to unborn children in Africa. The single "Sing" was released on World Aids Day on 1 December 2007, when Lennox appeared at the Nelson Mandela 46664 concert in South Africa.
