Portland, Oregon folk artist Jeffrey Martin creates intimate, story-driven songs rooted in honesty, vulnerability, and timeless folk traditions.

His live album Alive July 25, 2025 captures the raw emotion and connection of a single performance, embracing the imperfections and spontaneous moments that make each show unique.

Jeffrey Martin has been reaching for quiet and stories since he was a kid hiding under the covers with a Discman. He wrote his way through a writing degree, a teaching degree, and years of high school English classes filled with unruly brilliance, all while making records and playing shows whenever he could. Eventually, he left teaching to follow the same dream he encouraged his students to chase. After releasing Thank God We Left the Garden, he recorded Alive July 25, 2025, a no-edits live album captured in Portland with Sam Weber. Jeffrey tours full time now, still missing teaching like an old friend he’ll meet again.
