Jeremy Martin-Bass & Vox
Formerly of Universal Recording artists' Saving Jane and locally with Mother Trucker. Influences are Victor Wooten, Jaco Pastorious, Jamiroquai, Gary Willis (Tribal Tech), GRAVE DIGGER, Buckethead, Mr. Bungle, My dad (Bo Martin of Vandal), Stevie Wonder, Dio, Steely Dan, and that Oxyclean infomercial guy. Influences: Boys who have made me cry in the past or will possibly make me cry in the future, general disdain for "industry" types, lovely good friends that make me giggle, pretty girls, and Aerosmith. Sounds Like: The music that lonely pirates would have listened to in the wee hours of the morning, when they were crying alone in their cabins aboard their pirate ships. If pirates had cd players.
