NASHVILLE, TN (January 22, 2025) — Acclaimed, chart-topping country artist BRYAN MARTIN has been making waves with his RIAA-certified platinum hit, “We Ride,” and his rising single, “Wolves Cry,” currently climbing the country radio charts. In 2023, the Cherokee Indigenous American artist reached a career milestone by stepping into the “sacred circle” for his debut performance at the Grand Ole Opry.
Up next for MARTIN is the release of “Ain’t My Old Man” on Friday, February 7, via Average Joes Entertainment. “Ain’t My Old Man” reflects on MARTIN’s relationship with his father and the all-too-common feeling of looking in the mirror and realizing you’re a lot more like your parents than you thought. This song highlights his poetic writing style and authentic storytelling, reminding us that he writes what he lives.

“I think a lot of us grow up wanting to be like our dads, but at the same time saying ‘I don’t want to be nothing like that when I grow up,” MARTIN shares about the track. “I want to have more patience and teach my kids how to do things. Then you grow up and sometimes you catch yourself in moments where you’re just like ‘man, I’m just like that guy.’”
Prior to “Ain’t My Old Man,” MARTIN delivered two outlaw country tracks, “Years In The Making” and “Cowboy In The Indian,” via Average Joes Entertainment on November 15. The gritty “Years In The Making,” was penned by MARTIN, Scott Sean White and Ben Roberts, while the unapologetically defiant “Cowboy In This Indian” was co-written by MARTIN, Roberts and Helene Cronin.

Following the success of his Platinum-certified anthem “We Ride,” which has garnered over 300 million streams and soared into the Top 3 at country radio, BRYAN MARTIN earned a 2024 MusicRow Awards nomination for “Breakthrough Artist-Writer of the Year.” MARTIN’s career-defining moments, including “We Ride” landing at No. 3 on Billboard’s “Country Airplay” chart and the music video accumulating more than 57 million views, have solidified his growing presence in country music. At 36, MARTIN continues to redefine the country music ladder with over 800 million career streams, millions of monthly listeners, and a grit-soaked sound that resonates across a vast audience. Furthermore, he has shared the stage with Jason Aldean, Chris Young, and even rocked stadiums alongside Morgan Wallen on the blockbuster “One Night At A Time” Tour, solidifying his reputation as a rising force in country music.

MARTIN’s songs are like the old bar stool you sink into after a brutal day — steady, familiar, and brimming with stories. It hugs you like a friend who’s seen the worst of you and still sticks around, or hits like a gut-punch wake-up call you didn’t know you needed. His music cuts to the bone, channeling the raw highs and lows of life into melodies that linger long after the last note fades.
However, MARTIN’s rise didn’t come easy. Born and raised in Logansport, Louisiana, his journey began in church, singing as a child. By eight, he was covering George Strait at local fairs, encouraged by his mother, who had shared stages with legends like Faron Young and Alison Krauss. But life took a hard detour. He pursued bull riding, worked hay fields, and battled substance abuse, hitting rock bottom at 19. A near-fatal car accident reignited his passion for songwriting, pushing him to make his guitar pay off and confront his struggles head-on.
Albums like If It Was Easy (2019), Self Inflicted Scars (2022), and Poets & Old Souls (2023) reveal a true artist who has survived the darkness and emerged with songs that speak to the heart of the working-class experience. With each new release and tour date, MARTIN proves that the best songs don’t just tell stories — they live and breathe in the spaces between struggle and triumph. With his signature rough-edged voice and raw, honest storytelling, MARTIN continues to demonstrate his talent for turning profound emotion into unforgettable music.
Looking ahead, BRYAN MARTIN is poised to maintain his momentum in 2025 with new music and an exciting lineup of tour dates, including his debut performance at the Stagecoach Festival.
