Tale of Giants to perform July 5 at Polecat Tavern in Carson City
Acoustic singer-songwriter Javier Martinez’s musical journey has taken him to the East Coast, Austin and back home to El Paso.
On Friday, July 5th beginning at 8pm, Polecat Tavern is pleased to present Tale of Giants, Javier's new solo EP. $5.00 suggested donation at the door.
Martinez, who previously was in Cult Loveless with Emily Davis, will perform songs from the new solo EP he has recorded as Tale of Giants, a name he says comes from the “focus of hardships we feel when we’re on top of the world.”
Martinez was born and raised in El Paso, growing up in the Lower Valley and graduating from Del Valle High School. After graduation, he said, “I stayed here for a year, did the community college, but I wanted to learn more about the music business and recording, so I went to Full Sail (University in Winter Park, Florida, near) Orlando. Stayed there for a little bit,” he said.
Martinez found his love for music early on.
“I’ve been playing music since I was 5 years old,” he said. “My mom put me in piano lessons. Since then, I was in school band. I played trombone. “And when I became a teenager, I kind of wanted to do rock and roll, so I kind of left it, marching band stuff, and just got an electric guitar, played in metal bands and screamed.”
His family didn’t just give him his start in music, they also gave him something crucial for an artist: the belief in his mission. “My family always has been really supportive; they’re cool about everything,” he said. “They’ve always been supportive. I haven’t had any problems like that. So, long as I’m a responsible adult and a nice person, I think they’re happy.”
Martinez’s appreciation of his family inspired his return to El Paso. “I moved back seven years ago. That’s when I began doing solo singer-songwriter.”
