The Story

From Mo-Town
to Music City

Mike Martin was born and raised just outside Detroit, where he began playing guitar at a very young age. His early years were shaped by the city's rich jazz and blues scenes.

Since relocating to Nashville, Mike has built a steady presence in the city's live music scene, bringing his Detroit roots and professional musicianship to every stage he plays.

From the underground jazz scenes of Detroit, to the honky-tonks on Broadway, and festival stages across the country, Mike brings a versatile sound and a seasoned approach to every performance.
