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!"

"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!"
