“It’s something I don’t think I could have ever dreamed of,” *says Bryan* about the song’s success. “I started this for fun, but now I’m doing what I love for a living,” *Bryan adds*. The song quickly hit the radar of music industry executives and tastemakers alike. “Songwriting has always just been a hobby – a passion,” *says Bryan* who is celebrating the success of one of the album’s singles, *“Beauty In The Struggle,”* which went *viral on TikTok* - with *nearly two million views* to date and *over 13 million streams* on Spotify alone. His sophomore full-length album, *Self Inflicted Scars*, is set for an *April 29* release on *Average Joes Entertainment*. Those real-life emotions and experiences expressed in song unquestionably resonate with audiences because the two are one and the same. Although hard copies of many of these albums have sold out, individual songs are available on Itunes, Spotify, Amazon, and wherever digital music is available.With a blue-collar, everyday working-class background, *Bryan Martin* lives the stories he writes. In 2005, Cowboy Ways: Live at the Georgia Theatre was released and introduced the now infamous, “Smokey Beaver”. In 2001, Sic 'em Dawgs was released as a single. Their third "self-titled" album, Kinchafoonee, was recorded at Maxwell Sound in Athens, GA in 1998. (These first two albums are now sold together as a compilation called 1991-1994). Their second album, Deep Dark Water, was recorded in Nashville, TN at the Home Place Studio in 1994. The first, Sowega, was recorded in Athens, GA in 1991 at Saturn Recording Studio. The Kinchafoonee Cowboys have released three studio albums and one live album. The group has shared billing with entertainers such as Alabama, John Anderson, Trisha Yearwood, Diamond Rio, Tracy Lawrence, Martina McBride, Widespread Panic, Blues Traveler, Dave Matthews Band, Jason Aldean, Hank Williams Jr, and many others. The Cowboys are favorites around the state of Georgia and play all types of venues from small clubs to large outdoor festivals. Shawn Johnson became our new drummer in 2021. In 2017, Chad McGrath moved to Japan and was replaced Derrick Dove on bass and vocals. Keith Cromartie decided to officially retire in 2010 and Adam Funk took his place behind the kit. Later that year, Jason Fuller joined the group adding vocal harmonies, organ, and honky-tonk piano. In over 30 years of making music together, the band has had a few lineup changes: In 1998, guitarist Brad left the band and was replaced by "lefty" Chris Scarborough on lead guitar. The band currently holds records at the Georgia Theatre for most shows played, most sold-out shows, and thanks to the greatest fans in the world, highest bar sales! The band's popularity soon spread to Athens, GA where several members were in college at UGA. The band's name comes from the Kinchafoonee Creek - a tributary of the Flint River that flows through Lee County and Albany. The original group consisted of Shane Cannon, Keith Cromartie, Brad Hallford, Chad McGrath, and Glenn Tennyson, who all grew up in the Albany/Leesburg area. The Kinchafoonee Cowboys began in December, 1991 in a pecan orchard in Terrell County, GA.
