Mike Martin

I have a long history in rock and roll going back to the early 60's and my influences from those eras are the Beatles, Stones, Kinks, The Who, Dylan and all the others you might expect. I continued to play rock music during the 70's and 80's, being influenced by such diverse artists as Alice Cooper, Uriah Heep, Tom Petty, Blondie, The Clash, Blue Oyster Cult, The Psychedelic Furs and David Bowie. Coming into the 90's and beyond I began writing music in earnest and began to appreciate more singer-songwriter stuff like Martin Sexton, Chris Whitley, Townes Van Zandt, and others. This has led to an incorporation of this style and country music into my unique view of music.
