ODETTA HARTMAN (Violin) is a musician & educator, born & based between downtown Manhattan & upstate NY. With a heart-stopping voice & wide-ranging instrumental talent, Odetta Hartman carries 'cowboy soul' into an era where country can clash with computers & bluegrass isn’t afraid of bass. Her songwriting style explores an uncanny sonic vernacular woven with badass banjos, detuned violins, field recordings, superstitious soundscapes, experimental expressions, and vocal stylings ranging from sensual to spooky.

Hartman’s eclectic musical journey has garnered critical acclaim, high calibre collaborations and international touring opportunities. In addition to session recordings & live performances, she has released three solo albums & three EPs: 222 [2012] - Tallymarks [2012] - BARK [2014] - Old Rockhounds Never Die [2018] - Restoration EP [2023] - swansongs [2023]

As a multi-disciplinary artist, Odetta has played violin in several off-broadway theater productions, including Heather Christian's award-winning 'Oratorio For Living Things' [2022 - 2025]. Alongside her sister, Camellia, she is the co-founder of Ladybug Land, a burgeoning arts community & healing homestead in the western Catskills.
