Josh Martin and Friends

With a captivating style of guitar playing, proficiency in a variety of instruments, and a deep, soulful southern voice, Josh Martin is an extremely talented singer/songwriter/musician from Eastern Kentucky who is fresh on the Nashville scene and ready to make waves in country music.

Martin always had an ear for music, growing up singing traditional gospel songs in church with his family and learning to play guitar at the tender age of 10. He started his career leading a traveling bluegrass band as a senior in high school, and later became the lead singer and guitarist for the band “Fast Lane.” Their rendition of “Tina at the Teardrop Inn” became a local favorite and paved the way for a tour all across the eastern United States. In his travels, Martin has had the opportunity to perform with bluegrass greats such as Doyle Lawson, Mountain Heart, Ralph Stanley II, and many others.

Though Martin would always love bluegrass, he eventually began listening to modern country music, developing not only an appreciation for the genre, but his own voice. It didn’t take him long to pack his bags and sojourn to the heart of country music itself, Nashville, TN, where his music career has begun taking off.
