Martin Backstage Nazareth Event RECAP! On Friday, May 17 2024, Martin held its annual Backstage Nazareth Event at the Martin Guitar Factory. Maury was there with his cameras & had a great time from start to finish. Sadly, Spoon was unable to attend - but in this episode of Martins & More, Maury will catch him up on all the fun that he missed. Sit back & relax as we dive into our Martin Backstage Event recap: 2024.

This podcast features the conversation and opinions of musician T Spoon Phillips. A writer by trade, Spoon's longtime association with professional musicians, luthiers, and music historians affords him a richly unique perspective on all things acoustic guitar. This includes decades of close friendship with executives and employee at C. F. Martin & Company, past and present, and the host of this podcast, Maury Rutch of Maury’s Music.

Which Guitar works better for What kinds of Music? We asked you for some topic ideas, and we're here to put our stamp on not one - but 2 great topics from our loyal listeners. "Do you need more than 1 guitar?" And "Which guitar works better for what kind of music?" Let's get into it.

Our live setups! Over at Onemanz.com, Spoon received an interesting email a few weeks ago... "What's your live setup?" a loyal reader asked. Spoon answered him directly (of course) but thought this might make for an interesting podcast episode. What gear do Maury & Spoon use in their live shows? In today's episode, we'll find out - what's Maury's pickup of choice? Does Spoon always use a mic to amplify his guitars? Acoustic amp or direct to the PA? These answers and more - coming right up.
