Gregg Martinez

Gregg Martinez, aka Mac Daddy, is Louisiana’s premier R&B/Soul Blues/Swamp Pop artist. Born and raised in Lafayette, Martinez now lives and is based in New Orleans.  He has released eleven albums including 2016’s Soul of the Bayou, which reached #3 on the Roots Music Report R&B Album chart, and was named one of OFFBEAT Magazine’s Top Ten Albums in Louisiana 2016.    

In addition to his native Louisiana, Martinez has toured extensively across the U.S and around the world.  He is backed by his band the Delta Kings, a seven piece unit with full horn section and some of the hottest musicians in the South. He has been repeatedly nominated for Best Male Vocalist at OFFBEAT Magazine’s Best of the BEAT Awards. The late Ed Bradley of TV’s 60 Minutes, upon seeing him perform at the New Orleans Jazz and Heritage Festival in 2005, called Gregg Martinez “one of America’s greatest hidden treasures.” In addition, Martinez had the honor of singing at Percy Sledge’s funeral in 2015.  He was inducted into the Louisiana Music Hall of Fame in 2019.
