Songwriter, artist, and analog synth advocate Ronnie Martin (Joy Electric, Brothers Martin, Dancehouse Children, Morella’s Forest, etc) has been crafting catchy, devotional pop music with analog synthesizers for over 30 years. We catch up with Martin to talk about his latest project, From The Womb of the Morning The Dew of Your Youth Will Be Yours, his current life as a pastor, and more. Plus Randy Layton (Alternative Records) and poet/theologian Steve Scott join us at the Jukebox to revisit a tragically overlooked 70s and 80s era synth pop entourage known alternately as Writz, The Famous Names, or The Technos. That group’s founder, the late Steve Fairnie, had a major impact despite his relative obscurity.
It’s all about the keyboards this time on the True Tunes Podcast. The full music list can be found on the Show Notes Page HERE. To find Ronnie Martin’s music visit his Bandcamp store (powered by Velvet Blue Records.) To order the Techno Twins’ music visit their official site HERE.
