STRICTLY 18+ - BYO

It gives us great pleasure to welcome Jeffrey Martin back to the Duncairn for a headline show!

If you attended Mick Flannery’s last gig with us back in May, you’ll remember Jeffrey opened the night - quickly becoming a Duncairn favourite! It’s up to you to decide whether he stole the show from our friend Mick…

Following his warm reception here previously, we urge you to get your tickets now as they’re sure to sell like hotcakes.

On a small corner lot in southeast Portland, Oregon, Jeffrey Martin holed up through the winter recording his quietly potent new album Thank God We Left The Garden. Long nights bled into mornings in the tiny shack he built in the backyard, eight feet by ten feet. What began as demos meant for a later visit to a proper studio became the album itself, spare and intimate and true. Recorded live and alone around two microphones, Jeffrey often held his breath to wait for the low diesel hum of a truck to pass one block over on the busy thoroughfare. During the coldest nights, he timed recording between the clicks of the oil coil heater cycling on and off.

Martin’s fourth full length album, Thank God We Left The Garden was released last year. He produced and engineered it himself, recalling, “There was a magic quality to the sounds I was getting in the shack with these two cheap microphones, some lucky recipe of time and place that allowed my voice and the way I play guitar and the shape of these new songs to come together with the kind of honesty I was craving.”
