Marty Christian

If Marty Christian’s music sounds like it comes from the back of a 1950’s Soul and Blues chitlin’ circuit juke joint, it’s probably because he spent his life traveling to hear and perform with some of the original musicians that made that music happen. The influence of Marty’s Blues is served up heavily flavored from performing and recording with musicians like Henry Gray – pianist from Howlin’ Wolf of Chess Records fame and Carol Fran the Gulf Coast Soul diva singer and pianist. Marty also has fronted his own bands - the Marty Christian Trio (Austin, TX) and Rue Boogaloo (Lafayette, LA) as well as performing extensively throughout the South and beyond.

“Marty Christian recalls the first sides of an acoustic Snooks Eaglin and at times, Van Morrison..." - Soul Bag, France.
