Ray Martin Band<\/span><\/p>\n

Ray’s passion for music has shaped his whole life.<\/span><\/p>\n

Ray Martin was born in Radville Saskatchewan.\u00a0 His Dad was a butcher and his mom worked at many odd jobs to help stay above water.\u00a0 When Ray was a baby, \"Ray_Martin\"<\/a>they packed up his older brother Noel and sister Georgette and moved to St. Jean Baptist in southern Manitoba.\u00a0 They eventually migrated to Winnipeg where his dad opened up a little grocery store.\u00a0 One Saturday morning, Ray\u2019s dad woke him up and said, \u201cwe\u2019re going shopping.\u201d\u00a0 They visited a few pawn shops and came back with a guitar, a fiddle and a banjo.\u00a0 Ray\u2019s dad had hopes that his youngest would learn to play one of them.
\n<\/span><\/p>\n

Ray has been called one of Manitoba\u2019s \u201cbest kept secrets\u201d when it comes to the art of songwriting. Ray \"Ray_Martin_band\"<\/a>and co-writing partner Lyle Foster have won countless music industry awards having partnered in the Foster Martin Band for 19 years.
\nA song entitled \u201cThank You Lord For The Sun\u201d is what helped them break into the song writing scene in Nashville, having co-published the song with Famous Music owned by Paramount Studios in California. It was at that time Ray & Lyle got a chance to write with Big Kenny Alphin of the famous \u201cBig & Rich\u201d duo.\u00a0 Ray has since penned songs with Nashville hit writers Gilles Godard & Willie Mack, and Manitoba hit writers Diamond Doug Keith, Harvey Levy, Chris Freeman, Eddie Birkett and Chad Leitold.<\/span><\/p>\n
