Last week I recommended Gareth Dunlop’s music. This week I want to recommend another really talented singer/songwriter from Eugene, Jeff Martin. I first encountered him when he was the opening act for David Wilcox.
Jeff has a BA in English and a masters in Education. He currently supports himself doing landscaping and carpentry. He is a finalist in the 11th Annual Mountain Stage NewSong Contest at the Lincoln Center in New York City this fall, and is planning a new album. You can hear the music from his album Gold in the Water on his website. And you can find other recordings of individual pieces on the Sound Cloud.
Good listening.

Thanks for the heads up, K.C. I just learned that Jeff is going to be playing here in Harrisonburg, VA (of all places) next Tuesday. I’m looking forward to seeing him.
