For nearly two decades now, Martin has performed Campfire shows, primarily in the NYC area, but also throughout the United States, Ireland, the UK, and the Caribbean. Martin's Campfire shows throughout the New York City area have become something of an NYC tradition, keeping bar patrons happily singing and dancing along to their requests, proving that a unique voice, an acoustic guitar, and an astoundingly broad sampling of music from across the pop era can still help make for quite a lovely evening.
An acoustic guitar, a somewhat-hoarse voice, and a collection of songs from across the broad swath of popular music, many of which one wouldn't expect to hear in this context. Check the shows link to see if any may be coming up in your area.
