Dave Martin Music

Heartland balladeer Dave Martin, describes his work as “95% autobiographical”, a statement attested to by his narratives about carefree exploits, comical two-bit criminals, and quieter reflections that appraise his place among his midwestern surroundings. A suburban Chicago native, Martin has stated that he knew he would write songs from the age five, after attending a James Taylor concert wherein the 70s folk/pop icon picked him up and lifted him onto the stage.
