"As he sings of his woes over pedal steel sounds and tinkling banjo strums, Bug Martin draws us in, engaging us across campfire flames or under the lightning bug glow of a friendly front porch gathering. He tells the story of the everyman, the regular folks who deal with life's struggles, and who sometimes find solace in a shot glass."

“Having spent what feels like immeasurable time on both sides of the alehouse counter, I have realized two truths by which one must abide; be kind to strangers, and always stay one step ahead of your bar tab,” says Martin of the inspiration for “Bartender.” - Mother Church Pew
