Brent Cobb Livin’ the Dream Tour w/ Martin McDaniel at Fine Line

The American south isn't just Brent Cobb's home. It's his muse, too. A Georgia native, he fills his Grammy-nominated songwriting with the sounds and stories of an area that's been home to southern rockers, soul singers, country legends, and bluesmen. Cobb has a name for that rich tapestry of music — "southern eclectic" — and he offers up his own version of it with his newest album, Southern Star.

Once Martin wore out every bar in Opp, Alabama, he decided to pursue his musical ambitions full time and make the move to Nashville, Tennessee in 2008. At age 20, Martin was not old enough to get into the bars, so a close friend snuck him into Fiddle and Steel on Broadway, where, two weeks later, he secured his first Nashville gig. Soon after, he was able to play his way around the Nashville circuit; consistently securing shows.

Since then, Martin has played all around the country, opening for huge acts like Alan Jackson, Luke Bryan, Blake Shelton, and Billy Currington. Martin has also made waves in the streaming world, and his independently released songs have earned top spots on Spotify-curated country playlists such as "New Boots" & "Breakout Country”.
