BIOGRAPHY:

Singer-songwriter Bob Martin has enjoyed a performing career spanning more than forty years and recorded several albums including the recent The River Turns the Wheel and Next To Nothin’ for Riversong Records. His releases have received numerous accolades, industry awards and extensive airplay on folk, country and Americana radio programs around the world. Martin has recently returned to performing live and has just reissued his classic first album Midwest Farm Disaster onto CD.

"I was first struck by the power of Bob Martin’s songwriting on Midwest Farm Disaster in the 1970s. His lyrics are powerful, direct and moving. This is a writer that has style, economy of lyric and the ability to tell a good story."
-Dick Pleasants, WUMB-FM Boston

"Martin's voice at times echoes John Prine and Bob Dylan. It is Martin's rich appreciation of tradition though that makes River Turns The Wheel come alive with a lyrical landscape of stories... one of the finest practitioners in the fine art of traditional folk music."
-J.C Juanis,  RELIX Magazine

"He really is one of the genius songwriters of the Northeast." -Dave Palmater, WUMB-FM, Boston

“Martin's lyrics have a very American style to them, simple and understated yet concise and often powerful. This is not the poetry of metaphor and myth but the straightforward art of the folk storyteller.”
-Bob MacKenzie, SOUND BYTES
