About the Artist
It’s country with a kick, Texas Country, Americana, or whatever you want to call it. And, of course, it's the creative chemistry of four guys from West Texas who together make up one of the Lone Star State's hottest music groups, John Paul Martin & Southbound 35.

The past year they've played Judfest, Top Gun Bullrides, Sandhills Rodeo, and Sul Ross University Rodeo Club Christmas Bash. They have also played private parties for Target Corporation and GE Power Systems. Like a bundle of dynamite, the band has exploded onto the heralded Texas music scene.

They have shared the stage with some of Country and Americana music’s biggest stars, including Pat Green, Dub Miller, Doug Moreland, Charlie Robison, Gary P. Nunn, Rodney Hayden, Blue Edmondson, Los Lonely Boys, Mike Graham, Trick Pony, Cross Canadian Ragweed, Kevin Fowler, and many more of today's top acts. They have headlined shows at many of Texas’ finest venues, including Graham Central Stations, Blaine’s Pub, Gruene Hall, and the Corona Club in Ciudad Acuna, Mexico. They have performed in Texas, New Mexico, and even south of the border in Mexico.

With their performances of dynamic self-written songs, and their energetic stage presence, John Paul Martin & Southbound 35 draws and holds a crowd --- to the delight of the club and venue operators as well as the fans. Graham Central Station General Manager Glen Starnes has recommended Southbound 35 for different local functions needing entertainment, including a private party for GE Power Systems, during the 2002 Permian Basin International Oil Show. Starnes said, "They are unique, have a lot of energy, and the crowd loves them. This band has a very good future.

Album Description
John Paul Martin & Southbound 35 has just completed their first CD consisting of original songs written by lead singer John Paul Martin with Butler and Boykin assisting with the musical arrangements. The band is poised to release their debut studio album January 10 & 11, 2003, with the first single already up for a national ad campaign. Ford Trucks has agreed to sponsor a video for the first cut, Tailgate Partyin’, which is being produced by Midland’s Cinta Productions The album, titled Jamaica, Texas was co-produced by John Paul Martin and Nick Carlton at No Mountain Studio in Midland, Texas. Carlton, who has owned No Mountain for 22 years and produced recordings for Clint Black, Ricky Skaggs, and Shake Russell, said, "I was so impressed with this band, I called in (Texas music legend and Dixie Chick producer) Lloyd Maines to play dobro and steel guitar on their CD." He added that it also features Grammy Award winner, Ricky Bowen playing fiddle and mandolin.

Highly acclaimed and award winning, Bill Butler Music is the publisher of all of the songs for this project. The album was a result of their fans wanting the original songs that they were hearing at the live shows. And radio stations are eager to play the record as well. The album is poised to become one of the sleeper hits of the year in Americana (American Country) radio.
