Martin Buchanan
Southern songwriter living in Cincinnati, rock influenced country music
Have you performed live in front of an audience? Any special memories?
Love playing live. Played in bands in Birmingham in the 80s, opened for Oingo Boingo once. Now play in the round at Rong Tan's Bistro, The Viper Room and other venues in Ohio.
Your musical influences
Creedence, Hank Williams, The Beatles, Elvis Costello, Marshall Crenshaw, Love jangly guitar pop, and wish I could write like Jeffery Steele and Patrick Jason Matthews
What equipment do you use?
A CF Martin D16RGTE to do most of my writing and performing on. I now record everything in GarageBand on my Mac G4 laptop.
Anything else?
Thank you to the members of SWS for getting me jump started, especially Gregory Scott. And a special shout out to my tolerant and understanding wife and sometimes co-writer, Laura.
