City Sounds: Andy Martin, 19 October
Thursday, 12:00pm, 12:45pm and 1:30pm @ Post Office Square
Andy Martin has had quite the start to his solo venture – despite the fact it wasn’t the easiest time for a new artist to break into the industry. Andy’s energetic indie-pop sound has made a mark not only in Australia but all over the globe, with the single releases Heat of it All via CLASH Magazine & MTV) and Mess We Made (Triple J). After a run of SOLD OUT shows to celebrate the launch of his debut EP, "Living in the Heat of it All’ with a full band behind him, Andy is making waves as he carves out his place in the Australia Music Scene. His catalogue has been compared to the emotive sounds of Sam Fender, Bruce Springsteen & Tyne-James Organ. He is relatable, thoughtful, and empathetic in his song writing, with a knack for catchy hooks and energetic anthems.
The 24-year-old moved from his hometown of Cairns to Brisbane in 2016 to immerse himself in the local scene and has gone on to sell out shows at iconic venues such as Black Bear Lodge, Stay Gold and The Wooly Mammoth. The energy and passion that Andy projects into his live shows and into his recorded works is palpable and inspiring. He has something to say, and you can feel it.
