Mystic Brewery - Tap Room, 174 Williams Street, Chelsea, MA

Since it's birth a few years ago, Mystic Brewery in Chelsea has been making some of my favorite beers. They are using traditional techniques to brew inventive, funky and creative recipes. I'm really excited to be playing in their equally funky tap room on May 31st. Come on down and have all of your senses delighted simultaneously! (at least two of your senses.... ok maybe only one of your senses but I'll do my best)

AM Solo @ Plumfest

TBD, Plum Island, Newburyport

Plum Island is one of my favorite Summer getaways! It combines two things I love dearly; islands and plums (although I still haven't found any plums but I'm gonna keep looking for them. I hear they are delicious) The last two years I've really loved this event. There is no better way to spend a late spring afternoon than with amazing local live music set against the beautifully majestic backdrop of the Atlantic Ocean!

This is a great family-friendly event! There is tons of live local music across the island as well as beautiful beaches to walk along. Unfortunately, parking is really tough for this one, but there are free shuttles that run back and forth. I strongly recommend parking and taking the shuttle. Check out the website for specific details.

On Wed April 19th I will be participating in a songwriters showcase at the Hearing Room in Lowell, MA. It looks like its going to be a great night of original music played in a very original venue in Lowell. The show should run until about 9:30 and you will hear the songwriters swapping songs in a funky and casual setting. Come on out! Come sit on a different couch for a change and hear some great music!

I had a great time last month, and I'm excited to be back playing a solo acoustic show at the Middle East Corner on October 5th from 10-10:30pm.

Now that I'm onto my second Middle East show, I'm thinking about changing my sound from 'Dinosaur Rock for the Modern Man' to 'It Used to Be Falafel but Now It's Not Half Bad' or 'Guitar Notes Sting You Like a Shwarma Bees.' I can't decide. They both sound delicious.

"Will You Be My Valentine?" Gig @ the Back Page

 —  —

The Back Page, 15 Kearney Square, Lowell

Can you think of a more romantic way of celebrating the Friday before Valentine's Day than being shot through the heart with an arrow-sharp Andew Martin guitar solo, or perhaps, lovingly slapped on the bottom with the firm yet understanding hand of a Judd Fedenyszen bass fill?  Better still, the pitter-patter of David Bickel's bass drum will set your heart beating boom boom boom.  If the truly angelic voice of Erin Martin doesn't ascend you into an amorous altitude, then at last, beholding the sight of Dave Shrewsbury clothed in nothing sans girdle and a whole bottle of Johnson and Johnson's baby oil surely will! 

All these antique and gilded acts of chivalrous romance await thee at the Back Page.  

Can't wait to see you there!

Andrew Martin Machine Live @ the Back Page 9:00pm - 12:30am 15 Kearney Sq Lowell, MA   http://www.backpagelowell.com/2015/andrew-martin-7/

Gig @ the Back Page - Lowell, MA - 8/28/15

The Back Page, 15 Kearney Square, Lowell

In a stunning reversal, Roger Goodell has spoken, and after an exhaustive review he has determined that the Andrew Martin Experience's balls are in fact robustly inflated to the proper PSI and are ready for game time!

Come out and celebrate with us at the Back Page in Lowell on August 28th! It's been a while since we've played a "headlining" gig. If you've been thinking about coming out to see the 'Machine', now is an awesome time to check out a show. I would love pack out the bar to reward them for giving me a shot to play a longer night, and we will be playing a couple of long sets that will give us plenty of time to stretch out and flex our musical muscle! Come on out!!

Featuring: Andrew Martin - Vox / Guitar Erin Martin - Background Vox Dave Shrewsbury - Keys Justin Fedenyszn / Bass David Bickel - Drums

Come on down and receive your sentence; guilty on the charge of 1st Degree Hawt-Damnslaughter!

Gig @ PlumFest - Plum Island Music Festival

Plum Island, 31 Southern Blvd, Newbury, MA

The ancient Greek sailors told stories of the Sirens, who used their beautiful looks and music to lure smitten sailors to shipwreck their boats on the rocky shores of their island. On May 30th, at the inaugural PlumFest music festival on Plum Island, I too will be doing my best to seduce unwitting travelers with my sensual music and beauty (and by sensual beauty I mean my disgustingly white and hairy legs)

PlumFest is modeled after Somerville's PorchFest. It should be a fun afternoon of free, live music. You can stroll around Plum Island and listen to dozens of different acts playing, all set amid the splendor that is Plum Island. I will be playing from 1-2pm @ 31 Southern Blvd on the Newbury Side.

I will be playing an acoustic duo set with Erin. It's gonna be awesome.

Come on out! Just like the Sirens, once you set afoot on the rockin' island that is the Andrew Martin Experience, you will never again want to leave!

Cabin Fever. It's real, and it's spreading it's icy grip far and wide across the Merrimack Valley. After months of snowy seclusion there is only one sure-fire cure for this disease. Come on down to historic downtown Lowell and receive your personal vaccination of hot-damn rock and roll from the Andrew Martin Machine!

It won't hurt a bit and I will even give you a lollipop when I'm done.
