Halo! I'm Jodi Martin - Singer-songwriter, Ocean-lover, Writer & Well-being Advocate from the edge of the South Australian coastal desert.
The epic national Never Say Die! Tour has reached far-flung states and territories to celebrate 25 years of making records, and in 2026 The Never Say Die! Tour rolls on to South Australia and Western Australia, where it all began. I was born and raised on South Australia's Eyre Peninsula and several generations back one of my ancestors was shipwrecked off the coast of Rockingham, WA as a one year old on a tall ship arriving from the other side of the world called ‘The Rockingham’, which became the city's namesake. He was carried ashore in his mother's arms and grew up in WA dreaming of being a farmer one day… eventually he travelled to South Australia and did just that, part of a long line of passionate farmers, including my mum and dad.
The resilience and thinking-on-the-spot ingenuity that goes hand in hand with the ancient art of traditional agriculture is celebrated in the hilarious blues-rap Tommy the Toyota. This true story about my dad's wild adventures with his beloved 40 series Toyota ute, inspired and spearheaded this national Never Say! Die Tour. For my music journey to be forged with the resilience and longevity of a 40 series Landcruiser is my ethos and life mission - yeeew! ;)
Head over to the SHOWS page and book tickets for the WA shows - Kalgoorlie at The Irish Pub on Friday 10th July, 7pm and the Fremantle Fibonacci Centre on Saturday 11th July, 7pm - more shows coming soon, including playing Streaky Bay SA for The Variety Club's Children's Charity Fundraiser in August…
May this year find you making time for what your heart truly loves, and I look forward to seeing you along the road!
Love and light,
Jodi

Tommy the Toyota is a fun, slide-guitar-fueled tribute to my dad and his beloved ute, who save the day in a heroic Mad-Max style fight to stop a bushfire. It salutes generations of bushfolk finding solutions in the face of anything and inspiring us to ‘never say die’.
Jodi Martin's 'Never Say Die!' Album is a journey through grit, release and the quiet power of acceptance. A lyrical and musical celebration of 25 years trusting the ride!
Single covers become tiny rafts, each one carries a piece of a story, delicate, determined and hand-carved from truth, sent forth by a faithful shimmer of spirit. Set adrift on a river that winds through the untamed heart of Australia, they drift through towering ghost gums and red cliffs, where the air breathes heat and memory. Not in a lush rainforest, but in the expansive desert, where water moves like a miracle. The current pulls them forwards, gently at first, then wild as they’re carried to a steep, stone-edged waterfall hidden deep in country. It roars with a fierce kind of grace, echoing the pulse of the land and the heartbeat of a songwriter who stays steadfastly true to the inner Compass from whence the songs came. Under the burning sky and rising mist, the rafts tumble into the unknown. Fragile and fearless.
Jodi Martin's 'Never Say Die!' Coffee Table Book is a visual and lyrical archive of resilience, storytelling and song - an intimate keepsake for fans, music lovers and collectors who want to experience the album beyond sound.
Bold, raw and unapologetically real, Never Say Die! is a striking album celebrating the heart and grit of Jodi Martin’s music. Spanning 28 beautifully curated pages in a large format 20 × 20 cm design, this book brings together the full song lyrics from all 11 tracks of the Never Say Die! album, alongside original single cover artwork and powerful photographic moments.
Limited stock available.

Recording The Good Fight for Sandhill Sessions Vol 1, first of The Never Settle Trilogy. The Shane Nicholson produced track Never Settle was recorded in the studio, but most of the tracks on The Sandhill Sessions Vol 1 were recorded right here on this sand hill with a campfire and the calls of seagulls! The things we do to raise funds to get back into the studio! ;) I love Lori McKenna's songwriting and this is one of my faves.
