Growing up playing with family from a young age, Martin has established himself over time as a top call guitarist and composer in the Seattle area and west coast and internationally. He co-founded Seattle/New York based contemporary Jazz group “Meridian Odyssey” who’s first release “Second Wave” was voted as on of the top 15 Seattle records of 2020 and second full length album “Earthshine” was voted as best NW recording of the year by earshot Jazz, both released on Origin records. Martin’s solo record “Aperture” was selected as one of Alaska’s best releases of 2020 by the Anchorage Daily News. His most recent record “Back Burner” was released in 2023 on Origin Records. Martin’s music is dynamic and grounded, with a strong melodic voice that speaks to undercurrents of American Music as a whole, and at the same time seeks to dive into unknowns.
