Description
Twice nominated UK Blues Guitarist of the Year, a world-class harmonica player and songwriter, his band and solo performances and 8 album releases have forged Martin’s reputation as a leading force in British Blues today.
Born in London, Eddie wrote his first songs aged 12, influenced by acoustic and rock singer-songwriters from both sides of the Atlantic. He turned professional after being nominated for Best British Blues Guitarist, Band and Album between 1996 and 1998. Since then he has built a strong following as a solo artist and charismatic band leader, he has also recorded and performed with many greats from both sides of the Atlantic, including John Mayall, Peter Green, Buddy Guy, and Taj Mahal.
His solo guitar style has developed into a percussive blend of traditional blues slide and finger picking styles with flamenco rasguerdo techniques. These he combines with rack harmonica playing and foot percussion in the style of the one-man-blues bands such as Duster Bennet, Joe Hill Louis and Dr Ross. www.eddiemartin.com www.myspace.com/eddiemartinblues
“... easily the best blues guitarist this country has produced since Clapton” What’s On In London
“... he really is one of Britain’s top blues men” Paul Jones, BBC Radio 2
