Branden Martin is a seasoned veteran of country music. Writing real songs about real life, the Bath County, Kentucky native is a self-taught guitarist who never considered compromising his roots to find success. Opportunity opened it’s doors in 2014 when he was convinced to compete in the “Hoedown in the Holler”, a well attended annual event, where he competed with many musicians with much more experience and won.
In between festivals, opening for major label artists and playing Honkytonks, Branden has recently released his hit single "Drink To Remember" along with a cinematic video to bring it all to life, now available for purchase and download.
Song writing, singing and playing the guitar have always come naturally to Branden. The more he gravitated towards creating music, the more those around him took notice to his raw, organic sound. Coming to the realization that stifling his calling wasn't an option, Branden has focused on organizing his song making to share, and his journey is well underway.
Testimonials
"Branden Martin first played for us about a year or so ago. When Branden showed up and launched into his first whiskey-soaked ballad the whole bar shut up, looked up and took notice of what was so obviously a talent that was destined for greater things. This guy can write, play and sing his patootie off. His voice sounds like it was cloned from Hank Jr and Chris Stapleton. His songs are written from a place far beyond his years. His guitar licks harken back to a time when skill with an acoustic guitar was appreciated rather than tolerated."
