Just saw him perform at Canada 150 and I was in tears. Being a young artist myself he gave me so much to look up to and played some incredible music to match the new hopes and dreams I have. I adore you Martin, never stop!! Can't wait to see you at edmonton folk fest this summer!!

Amazing local artist with an amazing backstory. He just blew me away celebrating Canada's 150th and I couldn't resist buying his album. Normally I don't like this type of music but there is something about his voice that is so unique. Definitely a must buy.

As a friend who has watched Martin's songwriting develop over the years, I can confidently claim that this is his strongest album to date, and that it includes some of the very best songs he's written so far. The haunting Mr. Liao is a perfect blend of traditional Chinese and Western melodies, recalling the sad but true story of a migrant farmer and his family, and their ultimately unknown fate. Better Than Brand-New is introduced by a beautiful set of guitar harmonics, and reflects on the strong bond that I hope all couples share, even after many years together. Not in Stores is a pop anthem reminding us that the most valuable things in life can't be bought or sold. My Old Shoes laments how we lose our juvenile sensitivity as we age, and that something else intangible yet invaluable seems to be lost along with it. For the only cover song on the album, Martin brings his masterful yet subtle nuances to Bruce Cockburn's Lovers in a Dangerous Time, a song that has proven to speak to circumstances far beyond the Cold War it was inspired by. In short, this album has something for pretty much anyone that enjoys carefully crafted songwriting.

Love the new Album from Martin Kerr! Martin's vocals and songwriting skills are second to none. Every song tells as story that touches your heart.

Heard him at a backyard concert and had a great time. As a father of two, some of the songs really hit the spot :-)
