Armand St. Martin, a 10th generation New Orleanian, is a piano professor who has absorbed the styles of the New Orleans piano greats for decades, incorporating their sounds into his own unique style of piano-based New Orleans Rock ‘n’ Roll. Educated in Music Theory at Loyola and Tulane Universities, St. Martin also attended Wolftrap for the Performing Arts in D.C. for music and dance, and the University of Los Angeles (UCLA) for the Master Class in Film Scoring. St. Martin’s original songs are upbeat and popular. His classic cover tunes encompass songs from Louisiana legends like Ernie K-Doe, Chris Kenner, Smiley Lewis, Prince Lala, Benny Spellman, Roy Brown, Lee Dorsey, Frankie Ford, and Louis Armstrong. St. Martin follows in the piano footsteps of Fats Domino, Professor Longhair, Tuts Washington, Archibald, Allen Toussaint, Roosevelt Sykes, Huey Piano Smith, Mickey Gilley and Jerry Lee Lewis.
Patty Lee Records makes Armand St. Martin’s original music available on Amazon, CDBaby, Louisiana Music Factory, and iTunes, with his music videos on YouTube and Vimeo. Armand St. Martin and his wife/manager-press agent own Bayou Bohemia Recording Studio.
