Martyn is from Dunmore East, Co. Waterford, Ireland.He describes his music as folk with traditional celtic influences. Most of his songs encompass a true to life lyric about lost love, growing up in Ireland, working as a fisherman, travelling, the environment etc. “ His alternative folk music maintains a wonderfully distinct musical presence, one that is a treat to listen to.” (Heath Andrews, Music Critic 106VIC Radio, New York.)Martyn is a well travelled musician, having spent considerable time, learning his trade across Ireland, Europe, the USA and the UK, playing an eclectic mix of venues, ranging from theatres and bars to festivals.In 2013 Martyn Travis released the critically acclaimed album “Survivin’”.“With ‘Survivin’, Martyn Travis has created an Irish Folk record that stands out from the crowd.”(Americana UK, the home of Americana, alt-country and alt-folk.) Many of Martyn’s songs have been recorded by other artists and he truly believes: “As a songwriter, the highest honour has to be when someone takes time to learn one of your songs and particularly when they go and record it and put in on an album.”
