Single release: “Overqualified”
In the run-up to the release of their second album, PD Martin releases a first single to the public on February 13, 2026, titled Overqualified.
About the single
Overqualified is a playful take on the highs and lows of being a musician, the myth of the rockstar lifestyle, and the liberating realization that what truly matters is simply getting out there to play.
Driven by a swinging rhythm, the track creates the perfect platform for PD to showcase his rock ’n roll guitar roots. Combined with a boogie piano, the song ignites into a jumping dance floor filler.
Availability
Overqualified will be available on all major streaming platforms and as a digital download from February 13, 2026. The band’s fanbase can also look forward to a new album to be released later this year.
The band
This rip-roaring four-piece band fronted by guitar wizard PD Martin (aka Piet Vercauteren) takes you on a sultry trip through a wetland of blues and funk. Strong and versatile compositions, ultra-tight rhythms, and adventurous improvisations are their tools to forge a deep connection with their audience.
From swingin’ shuffles and soulful slow blues to great groovin’ funk anthems — all delivered in their own authentic way. The lyrics and compositions are of the hand of PD Martin.
PD Martin won the Belgian Blues Challenge in 2024, which took PD Martin as a one man band (aka Peddlin' Pete) solo to Memphis, Tennessee in January 2026.
Band members: Piet Vercauteren: lead vocals & guitar - Joris Holderbeke: bass - Hein Mandos: keys - Rien Gees: drums
