Rooted in nature, centererd in heart and woven with stories — Martha Tilston’s music is a balm for the modern world.
From sacred Cornish coastlines to deep woodland valleys, Martha’s songs shimmer with stillness, truth and luminous hope. With her fingerpicked guitar, silken vocal harmonies and lyrics rich in nature’s wisdom, she invites listeners into a quietly powerful space - a place where the heart can breathe and the spirit can rest.
Blending contemporary folk with meditative soundscapes, Martha creates music that feels both ancient and urgently now. Her acclaimed albums — including Luminous (recorded in a Cornish barn as tractors rolled by) and Nomad (captured in a tiny fisherman’s cottage on the South West coastpath) — carry a deeply DIY, soulful ethos that resonates with listeners seeking authenticity and depth.
As BBC has said: "She captures both the harshness and the beauty of life with the voice of a storyteller and the ear of a poet."
Martha has performed on global stages and at major festivals, yet remains most at home near the sea, guided by mindfulness, creativity and the quiet magic of the wild. Her work — including her feature film The Tape — stirs the imagination and calls us gently back to ourselves. To listen to Martha is to be reminded that we belong — to the land, to each other and to something timeless within.
