Berlin-based songwriter-turned-trio Meagre Martin was founded in the summer of 2021 by the African-American musician and songwriter Sarah Martin (guitar, she/her) and quickly joined by Federico »Freddy« Corazzini (drums, he/him) and Max Hirtz-Wolf (bass, he/him). Blending together elements of lo-fi and new-Americana, Meagre Martin is a culmination of experience rooted in healing, through lyricism that gives nostalgia new layers and harnesses the power of grief. Their debut ›Gut Punch‹ (released in November 2023 via Mansions and Millions) creates a sound inspired by shoegaze, 90’s indie, or faux country and juxtaposes these beautifully light soundscapes with lyrics that belie the sweetness of the sound with their vulnerability and depth. Their latest release ›Malcom‹ addresses financial instability and the vibrancy of lower/middle class American life. After performing in Germany, EU/UK and the US, the band is set for another busy year of touring.
Meagre Martin receives a scholarship of 5,000 euros in 2024 for the production and promotion of an EP.
