Brenda Martinez, an up-and-coming Conjunto accordionist from San Antonio, will appear on the Mollie B Variety Show on Tuesday, May 4, 2021.
The Mollie B Variety Show is a weekly show hosted by international polka stars Mollie B and Ted Lange, and is broadcast live on their YouTube and Facebook channels from their studio in northwestern Ohio. Mollie and Ted are best known for their Mollie B’s Polka Party program that airs on RFD TV, which, according to their Facebook page, “airs 2 times per week and broadcasts into over 60 million households via DISH Network, DIRECTV and over 600 independent cable systems.” They also host Sunday radio shows on SiriusXM, Channel 147 at 11AM ET and KNEIRadio.com at 8PM ET.
Martinez, whose debut album Favoritas de Mis Padres, earned her a 2020 Tejano Music Awards nomination in the Best New Artist – Female category, will bring her catalog of Conjunto polkas up to the studio to perform live on-air with Mollie and Ted. Released in December 2019 on CD, digital outlets and vinyl LP, Favoritas de Mis Padres is a 100% instrumental album and features polkas, a huapango, a reimagined bolero, and “La Galleta (Cookie Polka),” an original polka composed by Martinez. Produced and released on the Rancho Alegre Records label, It was a unique endeavor for a new artist, focusing exclusively on her considerable squeezebox skills. She is a voting member of the Recording Academy and will begin recording her follow-up album later this year.
This episode of Mollie B’s Variety show will be broadcast live at 8pm Eastern/7pm Central, Tuesday, May 4, on their Facebook and YouTube channels. To learn more about Mollie and Ted, visit their website at mollieb.com or follow them on all social media outlets.
