​The Martin Family Band has been performing, teaching and playing Old Time and Irish music for 20 years and counting. From the greater Washington, D.C. area with family ties in Southwestern VA, they are a six piece family band that has learned this traditional music and passed it down through multi-generations. The band is composed of parents, Jeanean & Carl, and siblings Lydia, Emily and Claude Martin.
