EVENTS
An Evening with Chris Martin IV at Chicago Music Exchange!
Thursday, August 20th | 7:00 PM - 8:30 PM
Chicago Music Exchange - Lincoln Ave. Showroom
Since 1833, one name has carried the sound of the acoustic guitar through nearly two centuries of American music — Martin. Now, Chicago Music Exchange is bringing you face to face with the man carrying that legacy forward. Chris Martin IV, sixth-generation executive chairman of C.F. Martin & Co., is coming to Lincoln Ave on Thursday, August 20th at 7:00 PM for an evening that's part history lesson, part masterclass, and part hang. Bring your questions — about the guitars, the family business, the stories behind the wood — because this is the one night you get to ask the source directly.
