The Stonecold Hobo (Martin Cummins) is a singer/songwriter from Co. Louth, Ireland. Martin’s set contains re-interpretations of blues classics, interwoven with self-penned compositions. ‘A master of slide guitar’, Martin’s original work reflects classic blues players such as Elmore James, Robert Johnson and ‘Mississippi’ Fred McDowell, with a nod to players like Rory Gallagher and Jimmy Page.

Martin is accompanied  by Old Scratch (Sean O'Hara) a fellow slide guitar picker with a penchant for the old tones of the Louisiana swamps and the Mississippi Delta.
