Jeffrey stories hit hard, because we know we may not be far off from them ourselves in this time of uncertainty. There’s a sense of hope too, the kind of hope that Martin instilled in his students, encouraging them to follow their dreams no matter the cost. It’s this hope that in turn inspired him to leave his teaching to become a full-time musician, for how could he encourage this in his students if he wasn’t willing to do it himself? Now that he’s left the day job behind, Jeffrey Martin tours hard, and he’s become known on the West Coast Americana scene as a kind of songwriter’s songwriter, a writer that other artists turn to for inspiration.
Dogs in the Daylight is as close to a masterpiece as a folk album by an emerging singer-songwriter can get – No Depression
One Go Around is the poetry of America – No Depression
Jeffrey, a former high school teacher here in Lane County, has performed before SRO shows at Tsunami for years. This time around, we’ll be filling the Unity.
