"If Jack Johnson were bitten by a radioactive Cat Stevens, the result would be a superhuman being named Martin Kerr", said one newspaper review of Martin's award-winning CD, I Know You're Out There.

Martin's lyrics are original, profound and instantly memorable. With his red hair and crystal clear voice, he reminds many of John Denver too.

But Kerr is forging his own path in the rapidly changing music industry. He has made himself one of the world's most successful street-performers, selling thousands of CDs from his guitar case. The Edmonton Journal gave a glowing write-up of his sidewalk serenades, naming him #2 in their '52 things to love about Edmonton' series.

Bookings for house concerts, weddings, festivals, charity and corporate events flood in as a result of these busking sessions, fulfilling Kerr's dream of being a full-time singer on his own terms.

Many on the street still recognize Martin from his TV appearances in 2008 on Canadian Idol. Though the experience brought him a new level of professionalism, he claims he much prefers the intimate audiences of markets, folk clubs and house concerts to commercial TV, not least because he gets to sing his own.  Don’t miss out on this amazing 1 hour House Concert.  Valued at $500.  Subject to Martin Kerr’s availability.  Not available on Saturday’s.  Included is a 750ml bottle of Big Rig Distillery Garlic Vodka. Big Rig Vodka: Work hard - play hard. This premium vodka is distilled 16 times and filtered 3 times in activated carbon to provide ultra-clarity and smoothness, hand made with precision from the finest centre-cut rye and hard red winter wheat grown right here in Northern Alberta.
