Born and raised in the English countryside, Martin Kerr has built his career, one passer-by at a time, busking and performing for public and private audiences across the globe. With just a guitar, his engaging storytelling and soaring vocals are enough to captivate any audience. Often compared to the best of the 1970s troubadours – Cat Stevens, James Taylor, John Denver – Martin’s anthemic modern-folk connects with listeners of all ages.
