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!
