Winner of Rock the Stage SWFL 2022 & Guitarist of the Year Josie Music Award 2024

International blues and rock duo and band Martini Russa are virtuoso guitarist Martini (Brazil/Spain) and powerful vocalist and rhythm guitarist Anastasia (Russia/USA). Their repertoire spans over 100 years, and is comprised of unique acoustic-electric renditions of blues standards, classic rock ballads, and fiery originals. Martini is the Musician of the Year - Guitar Josie Music Awards 2024 winner! Together they are also winners of Rock the Stage SWFL 2022, and SWFL Blues Society People's Choice Award 2022 as part of The Big Bad Wolves band. 

Martini Russa believe that music, curiosity, and self-education will save the world: "The only defense is your mind, so keep it sharp and ablaze"- a lyric from Anastasia’s song Midazolam Daze. 

In 2024, Martini won the prestigious Musician of the Year (Guitar) Josie Music Award (Nashville). Together they released two singles Hangover and City of Ghosts, and went on their first US tour. 

In 2025, they are again nominated for the Josie Music Awards in 4 categories, including vocalist of the year, duo of the year, and song of the year. They embark on their second US tour and moving to NYC in August.

What people say about our music

"I had the chance to check out a handful of your tracks today and I have to say I really enjoyed what I heard! First of all, this "Chess" track was [one] of the most memorable that I've come across […]  -- it's just fantastic! I am such a huge fan of this sort of melodic, soul-fueled mix of bluesy rock n' roll sounds that you've got here. What a killer blending of both traditional and contemporary influences, creating something that feels instantly familiar yet excitingly fresh at the same time. Musicianship and production are obviously both stellar as well, but what really got me searching for more were the exceptional skills you possess as songwriters. Seems like some of this stuff on your website is from other various projects you've had over the years, but tracks like "Hangover" and "Happiness" were definitely other standouts for me! Love the vibe that you guys have going on!" 

– Jon Delange, Owner Tinderbox Music

"If there were more rating stars to give for this band, I would! Martini Russa is new to the SW Florida area, and they are the new must-see band. Anastasia's voice is incredibly powerful, and the whole band's performance is absolutely captivating. Their energy and stage presence are infectious, and the way they engage with the audience is truly something special. Martini is a technically skilled guitar player and adds an incredible depth to the band's sound. His intricate solos and riffs are a joy to listen to and really elevate the overall performance. The chemistry between Martini and Anastasia is evident, and it's clear that they both contribute to creating an exceptional musical experience for their audience.
We will definitely hire Martini Russa again for our future events. Their performance added so much energy and excitement to our event, and the feedback from our guests has been overwhelmingly positive. It's rare to find a band that is not only incredibly talented but also professional and easy to work with. Martini Russa exceeded our expectations, and we can't wait to have them back for another unforgettable performance.
If you have the opportunity to see Martini Russa live, don't miss it!"

– Julie Krenn, German American Social Club, Cape Coral, FL
