Marty Nestor

Edgy as a jailhouse cup of coffee

About Me

Root Cellar Recording Artist Marty Nestor has come up thru the ashes and back on the Indie original music scene.............................His music has been described as "edgy as a jail house cup of coffee," and after a listen it's hard not to agree. Westford's Marty Nestor is an acoustic rocking original songwriter who enjoys making music as much as he does listening to others.................................Nestor is a 30-year veteran of the Boston music scene as a singer-songwriter-guitarist of the groups, Strider's Wrath, Side One & Downtwisted as well as performing as a solo artist. A clever lyricist that boasts a richly expressive voice to deliver his prose................................He has two Independent original cd's to his credit and writing and recording his third to be released sometime in the summer of 2009............................. A true folk-rock troubadour, within his 30 year career he has worked with a number of regional and national acts, as well as producers Anthony Resta(of Elton John, Collective Soul, Duran Duran and Shawn Mullins fame) and Hirsh Gardner(of the band New England)................................. Always the professor of hope, self-right and human courage his new 10 song, self-tittle album will make you think................................Armed with his new band, Nestor & The Electric Company have been getting rave reviews. His new original music blistering with folk, country, blues and rocks electric energy................................ From his original work with Side One & drummer producer Hirsh Gardner in the 80's or his more rootsy Americana styling of the present. Nestor brings the listener on a ride that you won't soon forget. He will stand and deliver..................................................... ............................................................ .......................... ............................................................ ................. “It is voice and guitar and harmonica mostly, with little help from a few friends. No frills. Just music. Bluesy-folk reminiscent of those mid-folk years beyond hootenanny and before rock. A touch of Leon Russell in his heyday.” ...Frank Gutch Jr. of Fame............................................... “Nestor fits in just about every genre of music. He calls his sound -Americana- a melting pot of country, folk, rock and blues. Nestor’s songs have an upbeat, always deeply embedded emotional theme, piecing together the best of all his influences, Earle, Dylan, Mellencamp, Springsteen and L. Williams.” .....Lowell Sun............................................. “His baritone to high tenor vocal range displays very appropriately over distinctively blues grooves. Excellent songwriting.” ...The Messenger................................................... ............ Nestor’s performance energy is to be seen. He’s a solid storyteller with an ear for melodies that pull the listener along until all is revealed.........Coastal Entertainment....................................
