Gregg Martinez

Gregg Martinez is a Louisiana-born vocal powerhouse often dubbed the “Crown Prince of Swamp Soul” for his gritty blend of blues, R&B, and Cajun-tinged grooves. Hailing from Baton Rouge, he’s spent decades honing a sound steeped in the bayous and juke joints of the South, earning fans with his lush, emotive voice and swaggering stage presence. His catalog—including recent releases like *Macdaddy Mojeaux* and *Soul of the Bayou*—showcases his knack for storytelling, blending soulful ballads with danceable rhythms that nod to his Creole roots.

A seasoned live performer, Martinez has shared stages with legends like Bobby Blue Bland and Little Richard, and his albums (including the festive *A MacDaddy Christmas*) frequently land on blues charts. Tracks like *Streets of New Orleans* and *South of the Parish Line* reflect his deep connection to Southern culture, while his Blues Music Award nominations cement his rep as a modern torchbearer for swampy, heartfelt soul. Whether crooning a tear-jerker or firing up a horn-packed jam, Gregg keeps the spirit of Louisiana’s rich musical stew simmering.
