Joe Martin Live with Full Band @ The Royalty (Bowness-on-Windermere) on 17 April 2026

Joe Martin is a modern day troubadour, a seasoned songwriter and performer having played to tens of thousands of people across the UK and Europe over the past decade.

The Lancashire born singer-songwriter is deservedly gaining attention on both sides of the Atlantic seeing him play shows around the UK, Europe and legendary venues in Nashville, Tennessee.

His musical journey has seen him collaborate with some of Nashville’s top songwriters including Johnny Garcia of Garth Brooks’ band, hit writer Jill Collucci and Aaron Raitiere at RCA studios on Music Row.

His sound is deeply rooted in the classic American style, drawing inspiration from a wide range of influences from American folk artists like Simon and Garfunkel, Bob Dylan and James Taylor to songwriters such as Townes Van Zandt, Jason Isbell and Kacey Musgraves, with storytelling and lyric a main focus of Joe’s songwriting.

Honing his sound over the years on the road, Joe’s personal stories have culminated in his debut album ‘Empty Passenger Seat’ which has been released to much acclaim. He has embarked on his next journey by recording a second studio album ‘Alone In Valentine’ in the late 2025, which will be released April 26.
