Shout out to my songwriting partner in crime @BenJonesyJones . It was a casual night out in Bastion Bar, Wedgewood where Jonesy introduced me to Cornelius (Gooseman) Webb. We all clicked and bar hopped for a few more rounds. After picking up an acoustic guitar at a friends flat later that night, I drunkenly auditioned what I thought was my best song for Goose. He liked what he heard and it impressed him enough to introduce me to Cal Campbell who eventually ended up producing Alone In Valentine. Funny how the universe works... So next time you get invited out for a casual beer, say yes! 🍻 Here's the opening tune of the new album, Hand Me Down Heart, written with Jonesy. Felt right opening the album with this, as this was the beginning of the journey > Also, go check out Jonesy's stuff on @Wavlake and zap if you like what you hear. He's got some gems >

Playing around with #nostr badges. I can see how this could be a cool idea to gift backstage access/ discounts on future merch, gig tickets etc. Anyone who pre-orders a physical copy of my new album Alone In Valentine through @Shopstr Markets by the end of Feb will get an 'OG Joe Martin fan' badge. Those who have already pre-ordered should be able to claim their badge at

Just uploaded the title track of my last album to @sunamiold using nostr music and video. Seems to work pretty well and the synced lyrics feature is awesome! This DIY video was made during my time on the road supporting a Creedence Clearwater Revival tribute finishing the tour at London's O2 arena. I'm close to releasing my second album, but in the meantime, check out Empty Passenger Seat

Looking ahead to the release of Alone In Valentine. I obviously want to do an early #V4V release. I feel like I've been sleeping on some of the #nostr music development. (Does music have it's own kind/NIP? and if there's a plethora of nostr specific music clients that emerge, I guess your music on nostr will be easily discoverable? ) I'm want to push my physical merch as that's the best way to make money back from the upfront costs of recording. But I also want to explore what other options I might be missing / have overlooked in the V4V space. Should I look into @Fanfares ? (Not sure if they're doing music yet) As well as @Wavlake for RSS, I want to look at what direct #nostr music publishing can offer. My only reservation is that if I wanted or needed to take music down in the future, that would be difficult or near impossible. Not that I think that would ever happen. The main problem still remains that people without sats (most people) won't be able to partake in this ecosystem, until a platform streamlines the onboarding process and that requires regulation and a company of some kind to be the middle man between credit cards/ apple pay and sats that can be zapped. Also looking for a nostr alternative to youtube to publish music videos for sats. Any comments / suggestions from the community are welcome! #asknostr

Any nostriches in El Tunco, El Salvador this coming Friday I'll be playing a short acoustic set at Tunco Veloz 🤙
