Amy Martin

Southern-steeped and powerfully understated, Amy Martin’s songwriting stands sturdy against the Appalachian mountain range. In a genre ripe for uprising and subversive narratives, Martin’s stories are a welcome balm for the grieving, the outsiders and the dreamers. Her newest effort, Bones [July 2026], showcases sharp wit, poetic spirit, and an evolving sound, mixing elements of southern gothic, indie-folk, and alt-country. Formerly the vocalist of an alt-bluegrass ensemble in Harrisonburg VA, Martin released a DIY self-titled project in 2020, the beginning of carving out a separate identity as a solo artist after nearly a decade in a collaborative project. After moving to Denver in 2021, she released her debut solo album, Travelin’ On [2023], produced by Old Crow Medicine Show member, Chance McCoy. Rooted in reckoning, Bones offers a mature and intense collection depicting the pain of grappling with loss in an increasingly inhumane world. With unrelenting sweetness amid the tough questions, she delivers tenderness and heartache side by side, offering a stark honesty deeply needed now more than ever.
