Bio / Background
Dave Martyn is used to wearing many hats: husband, father, music teacher, worship leader, conference speaker, handyman. For the creation of "Joyride," he wore the hats of songwriter, singer, multi-instrumentalist, engineer, and producer.
The album began with a few songs that Dave wrote for weddings- those of his friends, family, and for his own wedding to his wife Suzy waaaaaay back in 1992.
The songs were then crafted into a concept album, so that they became a carefully unified work of music that tells a story of faith and love. It takes the listener on a "joyride" through the exhilaration, contemplation, frustration, and peace that one experiences as a romance grows and matures.
The music spans a vast range of styles from world-flavored pop to contemporary jazz to rock to folk to r&b. Many of the lyrics are rooted in the book of Psalms, but they bear a contemporary style and a disarming earnestness.
