Martin Stephenson

Martin Stephenson was born in Durham, in 1962. He formed The Daintees in his teens with the deliberate intention of showcasing a broad range of musical styles.

Debut single ROLL ON SUMMERTIME was issued by Newcastle’s Kitchenware Records in 1982. Successful and critically acclaimed albums BOAT TO BOLIVIA and GLADSOME, HUMOUR & BLUE followed over the next ten years, before Stephenson began to cut his ties with the mechanics of the mainstream music business.

Over the two decades since, Stephenson has released a succession of strong self-produced albums from his home in the Highlands of Scotland, including 2013′s CALIFORNIA STAR.
Stephenson has played literally thousands of concerts in thirty-plus years of gigging – and it is a safe bet that there will have been a unique moment in each of them from this engaging and spontaneous live performer.
