Rodeo Night

Martinez isn’t breaking any new ground, but he has delivered an enjoyable set.

John Arthur Martinez comes across as a solid Texas country musician. The music is rooted in rodeos, bars and that old country staple, heartbreak. He also brings a border sensibility to ‘You Could Have Heard A Teardrop’. The backing is solid Texas country throughout: Martinez isn’t breaking any new ground, but he has delivered an enjoyable set.
