Jeffrey Martin (USA)
On a small corner lot in southeast Portland, Oregon, Jeffrey Martin spent a winter in an eight-by-ten backyard shack recording his quietly potent new album ‘Thank God We Left The Garden’. What began as rough demos became the record itself—spare, intimate, and true—captured live with just two microphones, his guitar, and voice. Released on Fluff and Gravy Records on November 3, 2023, the album showcases Martin’s rare candor, restrained arrangements, and a newfound depth in his singing.
Martin’s fourth full-length album follows years of touring across the US and Europe since his acclaimed ‘One Go Around’. Written against a backdrop of cultural upheaval, the songs seek honesty and connection, offering a hopeful and deeply human antidote to the noise of modern life.
Praised as “the poetry of America” (No Depression), Martin’s music has long been celebrated for its storytelling and emotional weight. With ‘Thank God We Left The Garden’, he continues to craft songs that ask big questions with humility, holding up the rough-cut gem of human experience to the light.
