The Fumblers
"The Fumblers" is Daniel and Erin Rastatter who play bass and drums with me. They are married and are super fun to be in a band with! I play folk rock music with them when I'm in Virginia. They recorded the last 4 songs on my album "Awkrdquan" with me. Listen to the last 4 tracks of the album by (clicking here).
The Stompers
Travis Ferrell is the one on guitar on the left in this photo. He is my nephew and has been playing music with me since about 2009. We started a string band called "The Stompers". He ia an amazing musician and has played in such notable bands as "In Alcatraz 1962", "Let's Be Honest" and "Cabin Creek". Davey Hall is all the way on the right and he plays mandolin in "The Stompers". He is a very great musician and also plays in "Lets Be Honest" and "Cabin Creek" with Travis Ferrell. Also in this picture is Daniel Rastatter on the upright "stick" bass and I, "Fast Heart" Martin with the banjo. This is my Virginia old-time and string band. Listen by (clicking here)
Roblyn Crawford
Roblyn played bass and drums and performed backing vocals with me steadily from 2003-2010 and continues to play with me whenever she can. She also does lots of amazing booking, promotion, and video work. Roblyn is the original Peace Punk! She has done sooooooo much for my music!
Murdock O'Mooney
Murdock O' Mooney played drums with me from 2002-2010. No one has mastered the hi hat like Murdock!
