Epi Martinez & Friends newly released single, “Luckenbach, Texas,” adds Conjunto flavor to the iconic country song by Waylon Jennings and Willie Nelson.
The track, which also features Epi’s mother Cruz Martinez, will be part of his upcoming album scheduled to be released in mid-March.

This debut album will feature Epi and his mother singing old fashion Conjunto folk music. His father’s songs are on this album as well.
