By Greg Roth on June 15, 2011@WeRideWhy

One of TV’s hottest new shows, “The Voice” on NBC, is garnering national attention for northwest singer/ songwriter Vicci Martinez. You can watch her compete for the top spot live on Tuesday, June 7th. But before heading off to Los Angeles, Vicci performed a sold-out show at Jazz Bones in Tacoma, Washington.

SMI Radio’s Greg Roth caught up with Vicci before she went on. In this week’s show, they talk about “The Voice,” her music, and her inspirations – and sample selected cuts from her “Live From Jazzbones” CD.

You can also hear the episode live from 6:00 – 7:00 PST on NWCZ Radio 6:00 – 7:00 PST this Thursday, June 9th
