SHK Music Presents: The Stan Martin Band with Special Guest Chris Hersch and the Moonraiders at Boston Harbor Distillery
Bring your dancing shoes and your taste for fine whiskey, as Stan Martin and the band pick their way through a two-Telecaster evening of Outlaw Country & Rock favorites and originals.
Joining Stan & Michelle are Jim Scoppa (Roy Sludge, Slim Jim Phantom) on guitar, Joe Klompus (Letters To Cleo, Orangutang) on bass, and William Barry (60’s Thunder, Studio Two, Baabes) on drums.
About Stan Martin:
"Stan Martin has been a fixture on the small but authentic Boston Country Music scene for over a decade. His tasty blend of southern rock and Bakersfield twang is kind of what you'd get if you blended the early Eagles with Telecaster ace Danny Gatton. It's got a California flair and an east coast swagger and it's good...damn good."
-The Fallout Shelter
“Stan Martin is a keeper of the traditional country music flame. He’s a Don Rich/Danny Gatton-schooled Telecaster- loving guitar picker, a virtuoso who is not a showoff. And he’s a skilled writer and musician who is unabashedly, unapologetically country.”
-Rick Allen Vintage Guitar
“Martin is an artist who continues to ply his trade in twang in a time warp hanging onto the Waylon, Buck, and even ‘90s Alan Jackson flavored sounds. For the country music faithful who like it more on the trad side, that’s a good thing.”
-Dan Ferguson, SRI
“Stan is, by his own admission, the disciple of two legends: Merle Haggard and Buck Owens. But he owes as much to his mom who played with local groups of country and bluegrass. At the age of 11, he was offered his first guitar and taught himself to play. By 15 he was playing in honky tonks. He explains: “I grew up as a poor child. I was never looking for a musical genre. I was raised and fed country music and this is what I play.” He played lead guitar for a country rock group, The Merles, and also for John Lincoln Wright and the Sour Mash Boys. And he began to write and compose while refining his passion for playing the Telecaster.”
