biographical info
Martin began his professional music career at the age of 21, when he placed as a Top-10 finalist at the National Flatpicking Championship in Winfield, Kansas.
For the next decade, he refined his acoustic/electric guitar and mandolin skills, performing across Canada with such bands as Mark Haines and the Zippers, and Black Creek.
Since then, Martin has evolved into an original and creative composer. His passionate music fuses an eclectic mix of influences and styles: folk, rock, jazz, bluegrass, Celtic.
His compositions are played in various open tunings, creating a bright palette of musical colours, textures and great warmth. His playing style features complex fingerpicking, flatpicking, crosspicking and percussive techniques.
The music on Martin's two CDs, 'Listening Hands' and 'Triple Heater', consists of original instrumentals that range from fast-paced, flatpicked numbers to slower fingerstyle compositions.
