Acclaimed, chart-topping country artist BRYAN MARTIN is gearing up for the release of his 13-track album Years In The Making, set to drop on April 4 via Average Joes Entertainment. This project further solidifies his reputation for poetic lyricism and authentic storytelling, offering another powerful testament to his songwriting ability. As always, MARTIN writes what he lives.
The Cherokee Indigenous American artist has been making waves with his RIAA-certified platinum hit, “We Ride,” and his rising single, “Wolves Cry,” which is currently climbing the country radio charts. In 2023, he reached a major career milestone with his debut performance at the Grand Ole Opry, stepping into the “sacred circle” for the first time.
Looking ahead, BRYAN MARTIN is poised to maintain his momentum in 2025 with new music and an exciting lineup of tour dates, including his debut performance at the Stagecoach Festival.
Following the success of his Platinum-certified anthem “We Ride,” which has garnered over 300 million streams and soared into the Top 3 at country radio, BRYAN MARTIN earned a 2024 MusicRow Awards nomination for “Breakthrough Artist-Writer of the Year.” MARTIN‘s career-defining moments, including “We Ride” landing at No. 3 on Billboard’s “Country Airplay” chart and the music video accumulating more than 57 million views, have solidified his growing presence in country music. At 36, MARTIN continues to redefine the country music ladder with over 800 million career streams, millions of monthly listeners, and a grit-soaked sound that resonates across a vast audience. Furthermore, he has shared the stage with Jason Aldean, Chris Young, and even rocked stadiums alongside Morgan Wallen on the blockbuster “One Night At A Time” Tour, solidifying his reputation as a rising force in country music.
MARTIN‘s rise didn’t come easy. Born and raised in Logansport, Louisiana, his journey began in church, singing as a child. By eight, he was covering George Strait at local fairs, encouraged by his mother, who had shared stages with legends like Faron Young and Alison Krauss. But life took a hard detour. He pursued bull riding, worked hay fields, and battled substance abuse, hitting rock bottom at 19. A near-fatal car accident reignited his passion for songwriting, pushing him to make his guitar pay off and confront his struggles head-on.
Albums like If It Was Easy (2019), Self Inflicted Scars (2022), and Poets & Old Souls (2023) reveal a true artist who has survived the darkness and emerged with songs that speak to the heart of the working-class experience. With each new release and tour date, MARTIN proves that the best songs don’t just tell stories — they live and breathe in the spaces between struggle and triumph. With his signature rough-edged voice and raw, honest storytelling, MARTIN continues to demonstrate his talent for turning profound emotion into unforgettable music.
