Martin Kerr sings what you're thinking. A folk troubadour for the post-truth age, his outspoken lyrics and soaring voice are connecting with millions of listeners around the world. He blends the urgent issues of the day with deeply personal narratives in nostalgic folk arrangements that invite you to sing along.

Explosive growth on social media has seen him reach over 50 million people in just the last few months, with his controversial rewrites of classic songs like God Rest Ye Merry Billionaires, Away In Bomb Shelters, and What's Up America? being adopted as anthems for justice and democracy. Making waves with his captivating live performances, he's opened for Dermot Kennedy, Sarah McLachlan, Walk Off the Earth, Blue Rodeo, The Strumbellas, and played festival stages across North America.

With his following snowballing by the day, 2026 promises to be a breakout year for Martin Kerr, with another new album on the way, new adventures on the horizon and a performance on Wednesday April 15 at Hugh’s Room!
