Dom Martin Announces UK Autumn Tour and Live Album.

Multi-award-winning artist Dom Martin burst onto the music scene in 2019 with a unique guitar style and voice, captivating audiences far and wide. Now, in 2024, this exciting Belfast-born songwriter is delighted to announce a double whammy sure to thrill his fans as he’s releasing ‘Buried Alive’ — a brand-new, live double album, to be released in Autumn 2024 — and announcing his Buried Alive Autumn Tour of the UK and Ireland.

To say Dom has been making waves and earning critical acclaim would be to be guilty of understatement on an epic level. Legendary Bluesman Walter Trout proclaimed, “Dom Martin is amazing! A unique, genuine, vital artist.” Meanwhile, makingascene.org went so far as to say, “The likes of Dom’s talent only comes around once in a lifetime,” whilst Blues in Britain Magazine were wowed enough to say, "Now and again, you stumble across a rare talent of such sheer genius that you actually wonder whether what you have witnessed can possibly be for real. Dom Martin is one such talent."

Dom Martin has won numerous awards, including Best Solo/Acoustic Act at the European Blues Awards 2019; Instrumentalist of The Year 2022 and 2023 at the UK Blues Awards; not to mention being inducted into the UK Blues Hall of Fame for his third successive Acoustic Act of the Year Award at the highly regarded UK Blues Awards.

Dom is a rare talent in that he is an extremely talented performer who has won multiple awards both as a solo acoustic act (as Dom Martin) and fronting a power rock trio (as Dom Martin & Band). His ability to perform in both guises at large festivals has proved attractive to festival organisers looking for quality acts to play different stages.

Famed for his live performances, Dom is delighted to be releasing another live album. “A lot of my fans keep asking when I’m going to release another live album as it’s some time since I released Live at The Harlington which was recorded during one of those weird brief lockdown holidays. Well, I can tell you ‘Buried Alive’ is coming this autumn! It will be a mixture of acoustic and electric tracks which have been recorded at my live shows since September 2023. Since I was a kid, I’ve always dreamt of putting out a double live LP!”

Dom is looking forward to his 18-date Buried Alive Tour, which runs between 2nd November and 5th December, starting in Scotland, then moving on to England, Ireland and Northern Ireland.

Dom will also play Cornwall's biggest blues, rhythm & rock festival: The Looe Blues Rhythm & Rock Festival on 6th December.

“I’m really excited to announce my ‘Buried Alive Tour’, which will be through the UK and Ireland during November and December! We’re playing some great venues, five of which are new to me, plus a couple of festival headline slots I’ve never done before. I’m also really pleased to announce my special guests for the headline tour dates: Blue Nation. It’s going to be a fantastic tour with two power trios on the bill and we’re really going to enjoy this one!”

As Rock & Blues Muse put it, “It’s obvious that Dom Martin is the next rising star in the global roots scene. Jump aboard now before he passes you by.”

Watch out for out his ‘Buried Alive’ live LP and book early for his Autumn Tour to avoid disappointment.
