Martin McDaniel said he is looking forward to playing for friends he’s known his whole life at tonight’s July Jamz.
The Opp native has been working in and from Nashville for the past 10 years, and is preparing to film his first music video in California later this month. The video will be released along with a single, likely at the end of the summer.
“We just tracked the new record two weeks ago,” McDaniel said, adding that there is still studio touch-up work to be done. The group will fly on July 26 to California, where they have several gigs and also shoot the video. Locals will definitely have an opportunity to hear the song tonight, he said.

Locals will definitely have an opportunity to hear the song tonight, he said. “We have two possible singles,” he said. “The decision isn’t final, but I’m pretty sure it’s going to be a song called, ‘About last night.’ I’ll know for sure in the next day or so.”
McDaniel’s band includes his youngest brother, Wright, who is a drummer.
“He moved to Nashville four years ago,” McDaniel said. “I picked him up from his high school graduation (in McKenzie), and he’s been with me ever since.”
McDaniel said he and his brother are fortunate that their parents, Liz Reid and Tim McDaniel, have been supportive of their work.
“My mom never said, ‘Get a real job,’ ” he said. “And my dad has been supportive, too.”
Opp native Drew Hassell plays bass.
“We’ve been friends since I was 3,” McDaniel said. “Technically, I’ve known him longer than I’ve known my youngest brother.”
