Joe Martinez is a rising blues and soul singer-songwriter born and
raised in the rugged beauty of Montana. Steeped in the powerful
traditions of Soul, Blues, and Country music, Joe brings a voice full
of grit and heart—channeling emotion through every lyric and guitar
line. His music carries the spirit of American roots, shaped by the
timeless sounds of singers such as Sam Cooke, Ray Charles, Chris
Stapleton, Marcus King, and Allen Stone.
From rural barrooms to concert stages, Joe has performed across
Montana and beyond, building a devoted fan base through raw, honest performances and magnetic stage presence. His debut EP, Montana, showcases five original tracks that blend storytelling with a vintage-meets-modern sound.
In 2024, Joe gained national attention as a contestant on Season 26 of NBC's The Voice, where he performed Stealers Wheel's "Stuck in the Middle with You" during the blind auditions. Although he didn't
advance due to full team rosters, his performance was featured on the show, and he received incredibly positive feedback from coaches Reba McEntire, Snoop Dogg, Michael Bublé, and Gwen Stefani.
Later that year, Joe's talent was recognized closer to home when he
won the inaugural Montana's Got Talent competition, impressing judges with his original song "Lead the Way." This victory earned him a $5,000 prize, a recording session at Beargrass Studios, and an
opportunity to open for a national touring act at Abayance Bay Marina in Rexford.
A self-taught musician who picked up the guitar during the pandemic, Joe quickly found his voice as a front man, channeling pain, joy, and soul into his songs. Whether performing solo or leading a band, he commands the stage with authenticity and purpose. With new music on the horizon and a growing presence in the live circuit, Joe Martinez is ready to take his sound to a national audience
