Martin Lee Cropper

That's the power of the old country blues, it will charm you, rock you & relax you without the need for excessive volume......you can talk, party down or just sit back & enjoy the best Traditional Blues this side of the black stump.

I work regular venues in the South West & Great Southern but will travel most anywhere if people want to hear my blues.

I played in rock bands for fourteen years, turned to fine art then dropped out of the city to lead a simple life in the country.

At the age of 39 I discovered the old Country Blues of the 1920's & 30's & fell in love with it. Going back to guitar kindy I taught myself the old obscure guitar styles-with fingers & thumb & a bottleneck on the guitar strings to produce the unearthly but very cool, whines, howls & moans of the deep Delta Blues.

I play beautiful National Reso-Phonic guitars- masterpieces of industrial art deco design.
These guitars are the authentic voice of the early blues & look & sound amazing!

I live in the hill country just south of Bridgetown with my wife Deborah & our hound Django in our beautiful hand crafted house.

So if you want  something different, distinctive & decidedly cool, then I'm your man.
Something old, something new, something borrowed.......& I'll supply the blues!
