Dom Martin brought his band to Bluefunk for their debut show with us in October '22 and I can safely say it was one of the top 3 debuts of the past 17 years of shows we have produced. He is one of the most extraordinary performers you could possibly stumble upon out there right now. The plaudits and awards he gathers up become self explanatory as soon as he steps onto the stage.

His talent is breathtaking but the easy charisma of the man is like a halo. It is obvious, effortless, and almost ridiculous but for the fact that he does not know it is there. You simply can't afford to miss him.

​

With five BBC Radio live sessions prior to a first album release, Dom impressed with his 2018 debut original EP “Easy Way Out” with BBC presenter Cerys Matthews describing his work as “absolutely wonderful stuff.”

 

His debut album “Spain to Italy” was released in December 2019 to critical acclaim.

 

bluespowr.com (USA)- 'Spain to Italy is not just one of the best debut releases we’ve heard in some time but among the best albums we’ve heard from any artist this year’

 

Makingascene.org (USA)- 'The likes of Dom’s talent only comes around once in a lifetime’

 

Fatea Records - 'A musician of unbridled talent and a future that is assured’

 

After his debut sell out "Spring ’19 UK Tour”, Blues in Britain Magazine said - "Now and again you stumble across a rare talent of such sheer genius that you actually wonder whether what you have witnessed can possibly be for real. Dom Martin is one such talent”

 

"A Savage Life" Dom's second studio album was released in April 2022.

"A Savage Life" is a genuinely sensational piece of work. The way it veers from one thing to another is astonishing.” – 9/10, Maximum Volume Music

 

“The sheer intensity and burning power of the music in this album is almost shocking. His music leaps out at you from the speakers with claws bared and fangs dripping with venom.” – 5/5 Music News

 

“Ireland has produced many fine artists in the world of blues. Legends like Rory Gallagher, and Gary Moore spring to mind. Dom Martin is the latest exponent who impresses his fans with legendary live gigs.” – Making A Scene

 

 “A stunning, evocative, passionate, stylistic and a highly personal release.” – Blues Matters

 

“With a certain glib inevitability, Dom Martin has been billed as the new Rory Gallagher. Let’s not. The Belfast guitarist is a sprawling talent who deserves investigation on his own merits.” – 9/10 Classic Rock
