The Bluegrass Martins are a young, entertaining, talented and award winning ensemble of individuals who just happened to be a part of the same amazing family. But youth and bloodline notwithstanding, their peers and their many fans agree that quality musicianship, stellar vocals, and pure entertainment.

The Bluegrass Martins have roots that run deep. They’ve studied at the school of the masters and have graduated with flying colors. Their sincere respect for traditional music is evident in every aspect of their craft. Their music and the fans that support it. It’s no surprise that this band is becoming one of the most celebrated and requested bands on the touring circuit today.

Today as yesterday, bluegrass music remains as down-to-earth and as relevant as ever in the hands and hearts of those who have the desire to come of age immersed in its soul. Among today’s musicians, there is but a remnant talented enough to call forth and build upon the music’s heritage.

Bluegrass Martins are just such a band. Affirming the musical legacy they carry forward, Bluegrass Martins have begun to receive modest recognition including Twelve times voted SPBGMA Instrumental Group of the Year by Midwest fans, winners of the SPBGMA International Bluegrass Band Championship in Nashville, TN in 2007

Born and raised where the prairie meets the Ozark hills in Morgan County, Missouri the band is now based in the ‘show me’ state’s capital Jefferson City. While becoming perennial favorites on the bluegrass circuit since 2001, they have entertained tens of thousands of guests at hundreds of events from California to the Carolinas, Minnesota to Texas, from Florida to Maine and many stops between, including some trips out to Canada as well, drawing an increasing number of fans to their fold.

They instill hope for the future of the music through their tradition honoring stage craft, but perhaps more importantly, a younger generation of fan through their dynamic concerts, they are dedicated to paying their dues. A witness not only to the bond they share among each other but the commitment to share their love of music with their fans young and old. Simply put - they embody the best of bluegrass music’s heritage.
