Sunday June 11th, 2023 with Dick Altavista
The solo career of Martin Zellar of Gear Daddies fame.

Skip to Tracks
Martin Zellar fronted the Gear Daddies out of Minneapolis in the late 80’s, early 90’s. When that band split up in 1992 he embarked on a solo career marked by first rate songs and solid “bar band” musical backing.
