Belfast-born multi-award winning artist Dom Martin goes on tour this autumn following the release of his third studio album, “Buried in the Hail,” bringing him to The 1865, Southampton, in October.
“Buried In the Hail” is steeped in the Roots, Americana, and Blues genres.
Dom admits the new album is the first complete work that he’s recorded which he is 100% happy with and proud to release. Says Dom, “‘Buried In the Hail’ is the kind of album where the more you listen to it, the more you will get out of it.”
“Unhinged,” the first single to be released from the album, came out on Friday (June 30th)
Dom says: “I chose this song as the first single from the album because it was the most difficult and yet most fun one to record mainly because the 5 watt Champ I used was on fire and ready to explode! It sounded great though. A Gibson 339 with these mystery pickups is plugged into that amp, this is the only set up will give you that sound. It is a song about the fakes out there, smiling to your face and crossing your name off papers! You know, them! We are living and working in an unhinged world.”
Why the cover of Willie Nelson’s “Crazy”? “When I was a kid, I always loved the song, my Aunt Breda was a Patsy fan, I think I liked it most probably for the key change, I was shocked when I later found out it was written by Willie Nelson, what a guy! This version is how I felt at the time, I had the music and these lyrics just fit in more ways than one.”
Dom will tour the new album throughout the UK and Ireland in October and November 2023 and Europe in June 2024. See tour dates listed below.
