The son of the late, renowned jazz drummer Stu Martin, Zeke, began his own on-stage drumming career at the age of 12. Born in Belgium and raised in Paris, he moved to the United States in the mid-'90s and has played with various projects that encompass Jazz, Funk, R & B, and Reggae.
In 2000 he founded Zeke Martin and the Oracle; the group has released five albums including 2015's Say What. They perform the same night at Beaner's Central and the following night at Sir Benedict's Tavern in Duluth.
