Philadelphia based roots man Bug Martin is a storyteller.

Born in the basement of New Jersey, he is a singer-songwriter who creates moody, twangy alt-Country Americana. His wonderful Hank and Woody style dustbowl tunes evoke existential and confessional themes, often with tongue planted firmly in cheek.

Newly released album Gutterball is a travelling record, relaying tales of hapless love and drunken wisdom stumbled upon along the way.

Listen to the fabulously venomous Hypocrite’s Rag and the equally good Lecher’s Boogie below, and order the album from Bandcamp here.
