ABOUT

Interested in meeting other musicians with similar interests for pleasure or occasional gig. I'm very interested in people who are songwriters, as I am, with an eclectic taste for exploration in all areas.

In addition to playing originals or blues and even classic rock I would love to do vocal jazz standards in a lounge setting. I am able to sing or provide backup vocals, as well. Email me at mvmartinez1cox

Song upload is a version of Stormy Monday by the Robin Steel Blues Band (1980s) with the late Roy Pinn on vocals, Dave Horn on bass, Eddie Gonzales on drums, and me on lead guitar.
