Martin has been a major topic of conversation in both Charleston and Nashville and is being recognized as a woman to watch within the country-pop music scene.
"It's so refreshing to see such a talented singer-songwriter at such a young age," said
Chuck Wicks of the 16-year-old. "I see big things for this girl's future. She commands a stage and people listen."
On the deck of the Palmetto Breeze, a 1,700 square foot catamaran, Chase
Martin opted to play a full acoustic set of both original music and covers. Her set ended with a rendition of Janis Joplin's "Me and
Bobby McGee," which left the crowd on their feet, cheering in awe of the powerful performance.
"This girl is going to be big," said local music lover Charles Davis. "She has great stage presence and performs with such sincerity, but most of all her voice is crazy powerful. I've literally seen jaws drop when Chase hits those high notes."

Martin is headed to Nashville next month, and will be touring in the Carolinas for the rest of the summer.

Martin is exceptional," said Chuck Wicks.
