About Me
Martin Pursley is a man of many talents, but writing a bio is not one of them. Instead of choosing to cop out and merely state that "the music speaks for itself," Martin opts to quote a passage from Les Chants de Maldoror by Comte de Lautréamont (a work that was surely written about Martin), which follows: Please heaven his birth may not be a calamity for his country, which has driven him from her breast. He goes from land to land, abhorred everywhere. Some say he has been afflicted since childhood with a kind of original madness. Others assert that he is extremely and instinctively cruel, is himself ashamed of this, and that his parents died of sorrow. There are some who claim that he was branded with a surname in youth; that he has been inconsolable ever since, because his wounded sense of dignity saw in this fact a flagrant proof of the wickedness of man, which becomes apparent in his earliest years and increases later. That surname was the vampire! Additionally, Martin Pursley is a singer/songwriter and a native to the Eastern Shore of Maryland where he still calls home. Writing and recording from his home amidst rural landscapes, Martin lives a quaint and simple life.
