Music like The Martins

The Martins are a Christian music vocal trio composed of three siblings: Joyce Martin Sanders, Jonathan Martin, and Judy Martin Hess.

Discovered by Michael English and Mark Lowry with Bill Gaither at the 1987 National Quartet Convention mid day booth cleanup. The kids, then ages 15, 16 and 17 were singing accapella in an empty Civic Center after being rejected by a local record company who told them to go back home and forget about trying to make it in "the business."

Following a weekend visit to their home town by Mr. Howard, they signed with Mark Five Records who launched their first album release in 1990, "With Love From Arkansas", produced by Eddie Howard, which quickly ran up the gospel charts. In 1990 A second album release sealed their position in Gospel Music and the contract was sold to Springhill Records that would take them to an all new level of marketing.
