I'm a guitarist/songwriter from Louisiana. My main gig over the past 12 years has been as guitarist for the band BLUEZCATZ. I was a member of the band Tupelo Station for a few years, and also have performed with many other local artists. I've been fortunate to have played and gigged with some of the best musicians around this region.
Currently, I am working on a solo project that began about 7 years ago. I've written WAY too many songs, so I've been weeding through my catalog and recording the ones I like. So far, I have released three CD's---"Matters", "Sometimes Otis", and "Late for the Devil"---all of which are currently out of print. I'm working on an anthology of the best songs from the three along with some new stuff. Hopefully, I'll have that collection ready for release by mid 2009.
In the meantime, I'm still doing shows with BLUEZCATZ in Northeastern Louisiana, as well as central & north Mississippi. It's always a real hoot. I'll post show dates as they arise...
Thanks for stopping by. If you're interested I have alot more songs (free downloads) at my soundclick page: http://www.soundclick.com/graymartin
Peace!

A HAPPILY EVER AFTER OF HER OWN
Melinda Lightfoot, a preschool teacher with an unusual ability to flit in and out of fairy tales, never thought she would get into trouble...
...until the Fairy Tale Police arrest her while she is in Beauty and the Beast. They offer her a deal: Find Beauty, who left the story when Melinda trespassed into it, or be charged with the ultimate crime -- Fairy Tale Killer. If that's not bad enough the Beast tags along in search of his true love, and Melinda starts falling for the fairy tale prince. She must choose between doing the right thing and having her own happily ever after.
