Concord Pavilion – August 19, 2016 Disturbed has just finished up their summer tour with Breaking Benjamin, Alter Bridge and Saint Asonia.

David Martinez, Texas-indie-Americana-folk give us a Piece of Me

August 22, 2016

(Los Angeles). Texas-indie-Americana-and-folk music is what David Martinez does and he does it really well, with a little rock and roll thrown in for good measure. A passionate, powerful and yet gentle singer- songwriter, Martinez has crisscrossed the country, been spun on radio in the US and the UK, appeared 3 times at SXSW and has a new album out, Piece of Me, produced by legendary LA-based bluesman Leroy Miller. Martinez has a voice that can belt the blues or croon as smooth as glass and he is using it to bring a refreshing vibe to Texas roots music and to folk and Americana music everywhere with a take that is uniquely his own. We caught up with him on his current Texas tour supporting the new album. Patrick. David, let’s talk about this new album, Piece of Me. I love listening to it. It just makes me feel good. But the title, piece of me sounds like a challenge. Actually, it is more of a welcome party of very accessible music. Why [Read More]

Principle scenes in the video were shot in Memphis, TN, where the band is based, at the Memphis International Raceway and historic Elmwood Cemetery. Cris Brown explains about the track, “Lyrics to me should be universal. They should apply to anybody based on what it is they’re going through – their thought processes at the time. We all, as people, have human conditions to associate things that are going on with us and what we’re focused on at the time. ‘Break Me’ is about somebody helping you pick up the pieces that fall behind whenever you’re broken. Sometimes it takes a lot of people to pick up your pieces, no matter what that is; whether it’s drug [Read More]
