The Martin Experience Podcast (15 November)

During the lead up to The Martin Experience, join us for an acoustic guitar-centric deep dive on 15 November as we relaunch our City Music Podcast. This comeback episode will delve into the craftsmanship of Martin guitars, the live performance/studio aspects of acoustic guitars, and last but not least, our guests give their take on brand new Martin guitars & gear!

Jarvis, the passionate luthier behind The Guitar Spa, has been crafting exceptional acoustic guitars in Singapore for over a decade. He has found a talent for repairing and restoring vintage acoustic guitars, bringing them back to their former glory.

Daniel Sid, musician/songwriter/producer/actor, can now add ‘viral podcaster’ to his extensive list of accolades. Originally known for his music and busking around the globe, you can now find him regularly on your TikTok feed chatting up a storm on the @LiquidCourageShow.

Sheng Li is a guitarist and singer based in Singapore. After falling in love with performing while busking, he became fascinated by the spontaneity of sharing music with people on the streets. Better known as @guitarstreet on social media, the performing musician recently won the title of ‘Busk King’ in UFM 100.3’s inaugural busking competition. He also produces artists in his recording studio!
