Martin Stories

Martin Stories is the official podcast of Martin Guitar—a place where the artists, the instruments, and the moments behind that iconic Martin tone share their story. Martin Guitar has been handcrafting acoustic guitars in Nazareth, Pennsylvania for nearly 200 years—and the tone, and the stories behind them, only get richer. Hosted by Jimmy Leslie, Frets Acoustic Editor at Guitar Player, each episode goes inside the story with players, collectors, and creators who have a Martin guitar at the center of their musical life. They share the careers they've built, the moments that changed them, and the hard-won insights that only come from a lifetime of playing. From bluegrass flatpickers to fingerstyle explorers, from first-time acoustic players to lifelong Martin devotees — if that unmistakable Martin tone is what you're chasing, welcome to the community. New episodes every two weeks. For more on Martin Guitars, head to: https://www.martinguitar.com/ Hosted by: Jimmy Leslie Produced by: Elizabeth Evans Media
