Martin Sport & The Romantics
Martin Sport founded his trio ‘The Romantics’ just as his September heartbreak had taught him to sing. Through the delightful and romantic tunes from the golden twenties to the booming ‘good ole days’ of the 50’s and early 60’s. Martin and The Romantics navigate a swinging tale of romance and the good life.
If you were to hear those melodies once again, that echo’d in the distant past, perhaps a lifetime ago, would it be just too marvelous for words?
Come a take a trip with this crooning combo to the moon, through the speakeasy to the ballroom, like they did way back when, not so long ago.
Martin Sport & The Romantics Crooning jazz combo from Sydney performing the rare and wonderful songs of the Great American Songbook and swinging classics from before the Apollo missions.

The core trio with Dave Devries on guitar and Sam Dobson on double bass (can be supplemented with a larger combo with drums and horns) seeks to reimagine and breath fresh life into classic and obscure selections of the Great American songbook using a jazz combo sound they are able to groove hard with elements of Brazilian and boogaloo rhythms tainting a Dean Martin classic.
