Bryan Martin books Steel Creek Tacoma for December 5

The Louisiana country singer behind "We Ride" plays the Broadway bar on a Saturday night in early December.

Early December in Tacoma means wet streets, short days, and a lot of people looking for somewhere warm and loud on a Saturday night. Steel Creek has an answer: Bryan Martin plays the Broadway bar on Saturday, December 5, at 7 p.m., per the venue's Eventbrite listing. The show was announced October 22, and tickets are sold through Eventbrite, the same place Steel Creek sells all its shows.

Steel Creek sits at 1114 Broadway downtown, and it has turned into a regular stop for touring country acts. Its recent calendar has included Colt Ford and Austin Williams, and Martin fits squarely into that lineup. He usually headlines rooms of about 975, so a bar show at Steel Creek is a closer look than his fans normally get.

Who is he? Martin is a singer-songwriter from Louisiana, and his breakthrough came with "We Ride," his first charting single, which climbed during 2023 and 2024, according to his Wikipedia entry). That same stretch brought a milestone most country artists wait years for: his Grand Ole Opry debut on August 29, 2023.

He usually headlines rooms of about 975, so a bar show at Steel Creek is a closer look than his fans normally get.

His most recent full-length is *Years In The Making*, a 13-track album released in April 2025 on Average Joes Entertainment, which he backed with a 27-date tour, per his publicist's announcement. The title was earned. The record had been a long time coming, and it gave him a full body of songs to tour on rather than a handful of singles.

Since then he has kept moving. In April 2026 he made his first headline trip to Australia, playing Brisbane, Sydney and Melbourne, as Countrytown reported. His newest single is "Tug O' War." No new album has been announced, so expect a set built on *Years In The Making* and the singles around it.

For Tacoma, this is a good kind of booking. A working headliner choosing a downtown bar is worth showing up for. A 7 p.m. start on a Saturday leaves plenty of room for the rest of the night on Broadway.

A few notes. Buy through Eventbrite, which is the venue's own ticketing. Steel Creek is a bar first, and the listing shows the night as 21 and over. And with a show this far out, keep an eye on the listing for any opener that gets added.

Five weeks from now, it will be cold and dark by 5 p.m. That is what a loud room on Broadway is for.
