About This Event

Doors 6.45 Members 7.00 General Admission With more than 3,000 shows under his belt, Porter Martin has spent years earning his place in country music the old-fashioned way—from packed clubs and songwriter rooms to stages alongside some of the genre’s most recognizable names. The Alabama native has shared the stage with country music mainstays such as Montgomery Gentry, Cole Swindell, Brantley Gilbert, Dierks Bentley, The Marshall Tucker Band, Randy Rogers Band, Eli Young Band, Love & Theft, Craig Campbell, Jerrod Niemann and Chancey Williams. Martin’s journey from small-town Alabama to Nashville began at just 12 years old, when a visit to the legendary Bluebird Café sparked a love for songwriting and country music. Two years later, he picked up a guitar, moving from strumming Eagles covers to writing songs of his own. Rooted in traditional country, Martin blends timeless melodies with evocative storytelling and a sound shaped by years spent onstage. His reputation as a seasoned songwriter has led to collaborations with hitmakers such as Lainey Wilson, Jordan Davis, Casey Beathard, Phil O’Donnell and Bill Billingsley. His debut single, “The Cowboy,” was featured in the trailer for the major motion picture REAGAN, bringing his music to audiences nationwide. At country radio, Martin has continued to build momentum. “Hell That I Call Home” reached No. 1 on the CDX True Indie chart, while “Walking the Floor” climbed to No. 3 on the CDX True Indie chart and No. 47 on the MusicRow Magazine chart. His journey has also come full circle in Nashville, where he now performs at the very place that first inspired him, The Bluebird Café, along with songwriter staples Whiskey Jam and The Listening Room. With charting singles, a major motion-picture placement and a career built from the stage up, Porter Martin is carrying traditional country storytelling forward while carving out a lane distinctly his own.
