Steven Cali opened the night with his full band at Kegs Canal Side for Bryan Martin. It’s been awhile since Cali has had the chance to bring the entire band to open. Many times a full band isn’t needed. But the band knocked it out of the park with originals and covers.So many fans in the crowd were yelling “Steven” “Steven” while they waited for him to take the stage. Great job, as always by Cali keeping the crowd engaged and entertaining them.
Bryan Martin may have been blocked by snow from putting on a show in Buffalo, New York, but that wasn’t the case for Jordan, NY. Martin and his band gave it their all to the crowd. They don’t leave nothing to wonder what you may have missed. Great show that Martin put on, Kegs fans always enjoy a great show when it comes through town. Mostly original songs and a few covers tossed into mix it up a bit. Martin talked about how to never give up and keep working at it. Not long ago he was on tour with Morgan Wallen, who has also been to Kegs as well. Many new faces stop through Kegs Canal Side and become huge names it seems, not long after. Martin, known for one of his most popular songs, “We Ride,” which is played on country radio, has probably drawn your attention to his music. I don’t think there was a fan in the place that wasn’t singing along to both Steven Cali and Bryan Martin all night. Not to mention fans throwing hats on stage for Martin to sign; he left they laying there for most of his set.
Along with many others, including Boot Scootin' Boogie (Brooks & Dunn cover) Everyone’s an Outlaw, Whipping Post/Going for Broke, We Ride Wolves Cry, What about Me, Divided States / FAFO, Lost, Simple Man (Lynyrd Skynyrd cover), Poets & Old Souls
Bryan Martin spent a brief time in the United States Army as well and appreciates all who serve the country. Told a story about his grandpa who passed away when he was just 3; he only knows what his father told him. The man was adopted and married his grandmother, who was a cherokee indian farm girl, and it seems to run through his bloodline. The man was also involved in music and probably pushed Martin to write music just a bit harder. Martin's career has seen him gain a dedicated following, thanks in part to his engaging performances and authentic storytelling. His songs often explore themes of love, loss, and self-discovery, reflecting the complexities of life. His commitment to music and his ability to connect with audiences make him a noteworthy figure in contemporary music.
