Raised on the Clancy Brothers and Tommy Makem, educated by  the Jesuits and  Wolfe Tones,  emboldened by Shane MacGowan, seasoned by Christy Moore .   Martin has played a narrow range of music his entire life: Irish.

Growing up outside of Washington, DC, Martin attended Gonzaga High School . In 1979  he and his football coach, Danny Costello  formed the Shannon Tide.  They started playing  weekly at "Matt Kanes",  adding performances  at "Ireland's Own", "The Four Provinces", "McGinn's of Baltimore" and O'Friel's" of Wilmington, DE.


In
1985, Martin  started appearing solo,  until 1988 when  O'Malley's March was formed .  Since then, O'Malley's March  has grown to the current group of seven members.

O'Malley's March -  thriving on the momentum of Martin's own brand of internal, Celtic fusion.
