The first song I ever wrote...
Startin' Tomorrow EP: Steal our songs --> http://linktr.ee/mikemartin
Looking back on this musical journey, I didn't even know what I didn't know. Like the difference between an artist, and an entertainer! How to produce a good song, or the difference between live and the studio....
After years of grinding it out in the van, we got our 10,000 hours. It all makes more sense now. So we started over at song 1, to create the music we were trying to make. Back then my heroes were Hemingway and Buffett, along with Cash, Willie, and Hank. These are a reflection of those early days. Drinkin' songs, thank God I survived it!
As we release the catalog, we're also making new music. Many folks have asked over the years where 'The Beautiful Mess' band name came from. It is actually the first song Caryn, Josh, and I ever wrote together. We will release 'Beautiful Mess' the song next Spring, and we can't wait to share the new music with you!
'Til then enjoy the first two songs I ever wrote, and a deep cut of a Jimmy Buffett cover 'A Pirate Looks at 40'. Keep on keeping on friends!
