Martina Mariea Schiff McBride was born July 29, 1966, in Medicine Lodge, Kansas. Her parents, Jeanne and Daryl Schiff owned a dairy farm outside of nearby Sharon, Kansas (pop. 200) where Martina lived until she graduated from high school. Martina has an older brother, Steve; an older sister, Gina; and a younger brother, Martin (known as Marty), who plays guitar in Martina's band. (Martina and Marty were both born on July 29, but Marty's two years younger -- how's that for timing!)
Martina has no connection with the group or lead singer Terry McBride. (If there were a relation, it would be to John McBride -- Martina's maiden name was Schiff.) http://www.martina-mcbride.com/faq.shtml
