Keyboard Warriors: Ronnie Martin (+ Steve Fairnie / The Technos on the Jukebox)

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.
