He is the rare talent who is just as formidable as a fiery trumpeter ranging from Freddie Hubbard to Louis Armstrong and everyone in between\, while as a singer he delivers sly\, mature\, naturally expressive post-Sinatra vocal stylings. \nHis sophomore album “A Lot of Livin’ to Do” (2020) featured the likes of bass luminary Christian McBride\, achieving viral online fame w/his vocalese rendition of “Social Call” ft. Veronica Swift that’s been transcribed and covered by singers around the world. He has crooned his way to millions of more listeners alongside groups such as the Grammy-winning “8-Bit Big Band” and YouTube sensation “Postmodern Jukebox”. His (2023) album “Third Time’s the Charm” went all the way to #2 on the charts and featured a veritable line-up of special guests including Peter Bernstein\, Bria Skonberg\, Chad LB & more. \nHis double-threat credentials were first apparent when he was a finalist in the 2014 Thelonius Monk Competition on trumpet\, and then won Third Place in the 2021 Sarah Vaughan Vocal Competition. His resume for both was recently bolstered by Downbeat Magazine’s Readers Poll for 2025\, where he placed #1 for Rising Star Male Vocalist and was also #8 for Rising Star Trumpet. His global recognition has been bolstered through his collaborations with the GRAMMY-award winning “8-Bit Big Band” and touring with Postmodern Jukebox. The recent advent of live-streaming concerts has been a boon as well\, both through his residency at Smalls Jazz Club\, as well as frequent appearances at fellow superstar Emmet Cohen’s “Emmet’s Place” online series. He has arrived as one of the most in-demand touring artists and music educators in the Jazz world\, with a never-ending intercontinental schedule that reflects his indefatigable love for the music\, with his smile and panache on full-display wherever it takes him next.

SUMMARY:Martin Luther McCoy: The Funk That Stole Christmas
DESCRIPTION:Martin Luther McCoy is a visionary soul singer who blends traditional jazz\, funk\, rock\, and soul music into a fluid\, electrifying sound. His vibe is a liquid-cooled\, versatile funk. His powerful voice has led him to perform as the frontman for SFJAZZ Collective and The Roots and was recently featured at Mt. Tamalpais Sound Summit’s tribute to Sly and the Family Stone. Back at Black Cat SF for The Funk That Stole Christmas is Martin and his electric band. He is perhaps best known for his breakout role as a Jimi Hendrix-inspired character in the acclaimed film Across the Universe (Sony/Columbia)\, directed by Julie Taymor. His collaborations with dance music innovator Miguel Migs have also garnered international attention; their latest track\, “Keep on Dreaming\,” was released earlier this year on Salted Music. \nLuther has a distinctive knack for reinterpretation\, often covering classics with a fresh\, edgy twist. \nVersatile and genre-defying\, Luther’s show will reimagine a portion of holiday classics but ultimately brings the funk and heavy jams to keep audience members swaying and singing along in their seats. Sade and Stevie Wonder lovers unite under a groove. Joining Martin are Howard Wiley\, Clark Sims and the members of Graham Central Station\, Brian Braziel\, Wilton Rabb and Dave Council. Prince Vs Rick James or Ohio Players vs Parliament!! The funk that stole Christmas will have you jamming in your seats. \nBand Lineup:\nMartin Luther McCoy\, Guitar\, Vox\nClark Sims\, Bass\nWilton Rabb\, Guitar\nDave Council\, Keys\nBrian Braziel\, Drums\nHoward Wiley\, Sax
