Martha Hills and Don DePoy, known together as Me & Martha, are dynamic, internationally touring musicians who bring the heart and soul of traditional Appalachian music to life. With over 200 performances annually, they have become beloved fixtures on the folk and bluegrass scenes both in the U.S. and abroad. Their unique chemistry on stage is enriched by their deep-rooted experience—Don is a fifth-generation musician and PhD scholar in the cultural context of Bluegrass music, while Martha brings the joy and energy of her background in Early Childhood education. Together, they don’t just perform music; they create an immersive, educational, and heartfelt experience that connects people across generations.

As members of America's Old-Time Country Music Hall of Fame and official Traditional Artists on the rosters of the Virginia Arts Commission and Arts for Learning, Me & Martha carry the torch of authentic mountain music into modern venues. Their performances blend historical context, humor, and spontaneity, inviting audiences on a journey through Appalachian heritage. Whether they’re in a grand concert hall or playing to passersby on the street, their harmonies and stories leave a lasting impression.

A standout element of their shows is the dazzling array of traditional instruments they bring along. With over a dozen stringed instruments between them—including the hauntingly beautiful scheitholt, dulcimer, autoharp, banjo, fiddle, DoBro, mandolin, and bass fiddle—each concert becomes a living museum of sound. Martha and Don not only play these instruments masterfully but also introduce audiences to their historical roots and cultural significance, making each show as informative as it is entertaining.

Me & Martha's charm has not gone unnoticed. They've been named Top Live Wedding Band by Virginia Living Magazine for two years running, a testament to their versatility and crowd-pleasing appeal. Their musical talents also extend to television as producers and hosts of Mountain Music, a weekly series reaching over 1.4 million households. Whether you're booking for a wedding, corporate event, educational program, or festival, Me & Martha offer a vibrant, memorable performance that brings tradition to life with heart, humor, and virtuosity.
