Hailing from the oil fields of Louisiana, Bryan Martin lives the stories he writes and country fans are listening.  His real-life emotions are inseparable from his songs, as is clearly shown in his breakout hit "We Ride.”  Emerging in Nashville, he's garnered over 378 million cumulative streams and 750K social media followers.  He's opened for artists like Jason Aldean, Brantley Gilbert, Warren Zeiders, and more. Martin made his debut at Nashville's iconic Grand Ole Opry on August 29.  Bryan's albums, If It Was Easy and Self Inflicted Scars, stem from his burdensome struggles he's dealt with since his youth.  His recently released project, Poets & Old Souls, which includes the everyman anthem "We Ride," reflects his growth and deep connection with listeners.
