Marty’s Bio:
Blues musician and songwriter Marty Christian moved from Austin, TX to the French creole lands of Lafayette, LA when he joined up as the guitarist for Thomas “Big Hat†Fields’ Zydeco Band in 2003. There he began to focus on his own songwriting and powerful acoustic shows that blend original songs with the sounds of Louisiana, Texas and the spirit of the Delta Blues.
Marty started his musical life as a Blues radio show host in his hometown of Cleveland, OH. He took his love for the music a big step further when he formed his first Blues band in Besançon, France in 1990. He would perform for two years in France before eventually settling into Blues-rich Austin, TX. In Austin, Marty began performing an eclectic mix of material in electric Blues trios, Instrumental original bands and finally drifting towards the beloved Austin songwriter’s tool, the solo acoustic guitar.
Since Bluesicana’s release, Marty has traveled the country as a solo artist, performed in Spain and opened for Spencer Bohren, Grayson Capps, Toni Price and more - His shows have brought audiences a passionate vision of Blues-based music - one that involves understanding the past while forming a way to the future!
